    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Legit Joseph Johnson?

    Hello everyone. New to the hobby and still learning. Is this a legit Johnson? Very rough and unrepaired. It belonged to my grandfather. Ideas on the date of manufacture. Also, any recommendations on repair in the southeast US near Charlotte, NC? Thanks

    Ebay pickup....Historical CW Joseph Johnson identified watch

    ...original. The balance is good, but it is missing a couple of parts and the chain has come off, but the notable repairman says these Joseph Johnson movements are very close in nature to the next one. He says it can be fixed. I think it is well worth the expense (don't know just how much at...

    Joseph Johnson Fusee #7067 - help please

    I received this watch from my great aunt and need help dating this watch and determining it’s value. Her husband was an avid watch/clock collector and I believe it is all original. It currently does not run but acts like it wants to if you give the balance wheel a light spin. Serial number 7076...

    My latest Joseph Johnson

    Here is Joseph Johnson No. 30309, a 19-jewel English-lever fusee with compensated balance in a silver case with Chester hallmarks for 1861.

    Joseph Johnson: first attempt at a dating graph

    I do not usually mention updates to the Johnson database here, but I thought it might be of interest to say that for the first time I have attempted a graph correlating serial numbers with hallmark dates. The evidence for this is still extremely scanty – I have seven credible dates between Nos...

    Joseph Johnson watch serial #80024, hunter case

    A local auction was held on January 20, which is a holiday in the States, and so I went. I bought the watch described herein. Both the case and the movement are marked with the same serial number. I believe it's a 14s. The watch has a gold-colored balance, possibly a low-grade gold to increase...

    English PW Hands for a Joseph Johnson fusee.

    I have a Joseph Johnson fusee (I'm attaching a photo) with incorrect hands. I'd like to hear from someone regarding replacement hands of the appropriate style. The original hands were lost long ago, and the hands it carries now were put on by a jeweler that cleaned the movement for me years...

    Joseph Johnson fusee #10320

    I inherited this piece from ancestors in Edgefield, SC. As you can see, it's a Joseph Johnson movement. The minute/hour hands were missing (the second hand is orignal, I think), and a jeweler that repaired/cleaned it for me many years ago put these hands on. I know they aren't correct, and I'd...

    Question about Joseph Johnson balance wheel

    This is my second Joseph Johnson pocket watch movement, so I've done some homework on them, but I have a question about this one. It has the Massey III escape and is marked for it on the cock. It looks fairly typical of others around this serial number. What is the purpose of the metal brackets...

    Joseph Johnson London - Help with identification

    Hello: Found this pocket watch in all my watch stuff. Don't even recall where I obtained it! In reading the threads here, it would appear that this is actually a Swiss watch movement? It is in a silver case, but I haven't been able to figure out the case marks. It does not have a crystal...
