Vintage Wagner Pocket Stopwatch
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
early 20th cent
This pocket stopwatch features a white dial signed Wagner above a circular monogram or emblem. Sourced records date the piece to the early twentieth century and indicate a stem-wound mechanical movement, which the auction house reported as not working upon testing.
The open-face metal case has an integrated winding crown and top pendant bow. On the dial, Arabic numerals mark five-minute intervals alongside an outer track, a prominent red '60' at the top, and a 30-minute subsidiary register below the upper index, traversed by blued timing hands.
