This is a pair of 1883 model 15 jewel adjusted movements in grade 35 open
face and grade 25 hunting case. I think these watches are the finest production
of the 83 model. They have finish equal to the Crescent Street grade and lovely
flush gold settings. The later 17 jewel examples are not really up to the finish
standards of the earlier 15 jewel watches. Note that the open face example is
pendant set while the hunting case example is lever set. This was true of all
but a very small number of 1883 model watches.
