The first wristwatches were scaled down pocketwatch designs, pretty much as is, that were also used for ladies pocketwatches. They are extremely delicate, and in my experience often suffer from rarely being serviced, if at all, when they were in use. Getting one to tick, without the extensive replacement of parts, is a challenge.
This is Elgin's grade 428, 6/0 size, 15 jewels, made about 1919.
