Research Note: November 4, 1891 Issue of The Jewelers' Circular and Horological Review:
[Includes Illustrated Movement Cut] "The Illinois Watch Co., Springfield, Ill. and 192 Broadway, New York, have introduced a new movement, which will be classed as their highest grade watch. It is called the 'New Bunn Nickel' movement and is of 18-size. It has a double sunk glass enamel dial, sixteen jewels with gold settings, open face, pendant setting, and is adjustable to temperature and position. As can be seen from the illustration it is very handsome in appearance, and it will undoubtedly rank with the best movements on the market." |
