The dial is not perfectas there are spider marks at the 11:30 position. The hands are perfect and the glass crystal is flawless. The name on this enamel dial by Omega is "J.H.A Stoneman, Hensall Ont" who was a Lieutenant. This is a Canadian name from Ontario Canada. Rare I see this but the movement is engraved at the omega factory "1907" on the train bridge. There are 17 clean and inspected jewels and please notice the center jewel is in a raised solid gold jewel setting. This is a stem wind and a stem set movement. There is a micro regulator whip on the balance cock which tells you this is a good solid quality Omega pocket watch. The serial number on this movement is 3,035,483 which indicates this piece was produced at the Omega Swiss factory in the year 1907. As clean as can be as mentioned and as it has been serviced with a new main spring it keeps very accurate time indeed ;-)

The story of Arthur Pequegnat is one of triumph against the odds. Imagine a time before electricity and digital technology. A day and age when winding a clock was essential to keeping track of time. “Tick tock” was the sound of order. It meant catching a train. Silence was chaos. Arthur Pequegnat knew of the importance of timekeeping. He dared to envision a Canadian clock industry when it seemed impossible. Then he defied the naysayers and achieved it. What remains are his clocks: evidence of one man’s belief in his family and country. 30 years before Arthur Pequegnat entered the scene Americans had the clock industry “in the bag”. Between 1872 and 1886 three separate attempts by three Canadian clock companies failed miserably. Even a protectionist tariff extended by Canadian Minister of Finance Sir Samuel Leonard Tilley was not enough to save second company (The Canada Clock Company) from ruin. It did however name one of its models “Tilley” in honour of his 35% tax on the importation of foreign clocks! The Americans had the equipment, the scale, and the knowledge, and Canadians paid the price.  When the Hamilton Clock Company launched in 1876, a prominent trade journal interviewed the floor manager: "I presume your hands are mostly Americans, as I do not suppose you could find Canadians skilled in this branch of industry". The manager replied, "On the contrary, out of fifty hands employed by us we only have two Americans". (Varkaris & Connell, 1986: 17). Canadian pride was not enough. Despite three separate attempts to compete with the Americans, all three companies were bankrupt by 1886.1874. In the throws of a freak April snowstorm the Pequegnat family arrived from Switzerland to Berlin Ontario. According to The Pequegnat Story (Varkaris, 1982:9) never before, or since, had such a large family arrived in Canada at once. Fourteen in total. Two-by-two, Arthur and his father lead the pack “with a shotgun over each of their shoulders” should Indians be encountered (Varkaris, 1982:9). This scene foreshadows Arthur’s leadership in establishing his family, and eventually an entire industry, on Canadian soil.1881. It wasn’t long before the eight Pequegnat brothers established themselves. They learned the language and disbanded with their Swiss skillsets to open jewellery stores across South-western Ontario. They used their collective buying power as a sort of family conglomerate. Within seven short years they opened 10 jewellery stores. Arthur, the eldest, was the ringleader. Arthur joined forces with his brother Paul to open stores in “Busy Berlin”.

The hands are solid 18 karat gold and they do belong to this Blake movement. The two cases are well hallmarked and sterling sliver. The watch paper is genuine and shows that it was serviced in North St Sudbury England years and years ago. I can only assume that this watch traveled to Sudbury as this town was part of our great nations railway systems to the west and it was a large depot for the trains to stop , refuel and acquire cargo. This piece is a real McCoy so make no mistakes, this is a fantastic sterling silver chain fusee verge pocket watch and it does run rather well. On a final note, these pieces were never great time keepers but they were in the acceptable range.
