<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 3351662, member: 6444&quot;]I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the history of pocket watches and cases. Both the pocket watch cases you show in your pictures have the hinge located 180 deg from the crown; they are the same type of hunter case. It is the movement that is different in the two pictures, and the movement in your watch is not designed for that type of case. Both types of movements were being made for both types of pocket watch cases: open face and hunter cases. This should be clear from this link: <a href="https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/watchcases.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/watchcases.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/watchcases.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Your watch configuration is rare simply because it is being used incorrectly. It is an open face watch movement in a hunter watch case. This was probably not done by the original jeweler, but by a later repairman who happened to have the right size case, even though it was the incorrect type. Any mismatched case and movement will have the same configuration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
