Serial Number 194681 was reported as accurate.

Serial Number 194681 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Note: "Boston Watch Company" Watches made by
Hampden

If you run across a watch marked "Boston Watch
Company" on the movement and/or dial, it is VERY
likely that it is NOT an original Boston Watch
Company watch. The total watch production for
Boston Watch Company was around 5000 watches, so
if you have a Boston Watch Company watch with a
serial number above 5000, then it's not an
original Boston Watch Company watch!

The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company produced an
18-size model which was labeled "Boston Watch
Company". It is not known how or when (or if)
Hampden acquired the rights to the "Boston Watch
Company" name, but these Hampden-produced "Boston
Watch Company" watches are far more plentiful than
original watches produced by the Boston Watch
Company, which are quite rare and collectible.
