Trans Pacific - Another "Swiss Fake" 21 Jewel Pocket Watch Restoration.

Trans Pacific with 21 jewels by Langendorf from the early 20th century, called "Swiss Fake" So why was it given this name? A closer look reveals that the ‘jewels’ on the train bridge are made of celluloid, and if one or more of them were removed, a brass bearing would probably be found underneath. Was it worth spending those four hours servicing this watch? Of course it was... It's another relic of the past saved from oblivion. I am not a professional watchmaker, watchmaking is just my hobby. #SwissFakePocketWatch, #SwissFake, #TransPacific, #TransPacificPocketWatch, #TransPacificVintagePocketWatch, #AntiquePocketWatch, #VintagePocketWatch, #PocketWatch, #watchmaking, #restoration, #renovation, #servicing, #watch, #watchmaker, #rebuilding, #antique, #vintage, #clock, #old, #timegrapher, #weishi, #hobby, #Bergeon, #Horotec, #WatchCleaningMachine, #ElmaWatchCleaningMachine, #Elma Swiss. "Swiss fakes" were mid-quality Swiss-made pocket watches made to look like American railroad-grade pocket watches. They often feature busy 24-hour Montgomery dials and highly damaskeened movements. Although they look the part, the quality of the movements are often not as good as they are described. Because of the place they hold in the history of pocket watches, they are highly collectable in their own right. "Pacific" was a trade name of the Langendorf Watch Company (in Langendorf / Switzerland)... The company was founded in ... well, in 1842 the Kottmann-family [from Solothurn] built watch movements in Langendorf, the big production of raw movements began in 1873 - although in rather poor quality and the company was short to its end in 1880. But at the last second, the incompetent workers were exchanged with good workser from the west switzerland and the company was saved. The company even expanded. 1971 the L.W.C. was integrated into the Omega-Tissot-group, in 1973 the last watch was produced. From about 1860-1960, America was the watchmaking capital of the world. It made the best watches. Because of this, in the 19th century, Swiss companies tried to copy and fake American watches by producing inferior-quality watches and passing them off as American originals by giving the watches "American-sounding" names. A name like "Trans-Pacific" is supposed to sound like a railroad watch, but it isn't. The quality would be significantly lower and it wouldn't keep as good time. A "Trans Pacific" pocket watch with 21 jewels is a vintage mechanical timepiece, often manufactured by Langendorf and typically from the early 20th century, featuring a mechanical movement. These watches were often marked as 16 size and were sometimes used as railroad watches, indicating they were held to high standards of accuracy. The specific value depends on the manufacturer, case material, and overall condition. Music: GOOD MORNING MUSIC ➤ No Copyright Meditation Music 528Hz    • GOOD MORNING MUSIC ➤ No Copyright Meditati...
