Serial Number 233396 was reported as inaccurate.
Note: Just checking my records from many years ago and
this watch was supposedly made in 1889, if thts of
any help.
I also believe its an 18,000 bph beat train.
Thomass' first watch i was told was 1885.

Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Estimated dates for Seth Thomas watches are difficult to pinpoint due to the company's practice of designating larger blocks for certain models. As a result, movements were not finished in a predictable order. Yes, the first Seth Thomas watch was introduced in 1885, and your estimated date of 1889 for this serial is reasonable.
