Reed Monitor

S# 268, nickel half-plate, stemwind and lever set, lever escapement movement with winding reserve indicator made for a retailer, engraved "Reed, Boston, No. 268, Currier and L'heureux." The nickel plates have straight line damascening embellished with a braid pattern, and a spotted pallet bridge. The movement features Reed's patented barrel and regulator (both marked), and a compensated balance located under the center wheel, 15 jewels in screwed-down jewel settings, and also has winding and setting squares above the main barrel and center wheel arbors. The dial, with upright Arabic numerals and up-down indicator indicator scale, is inscribed "G. P. Reed," and "Currier & L'heureux." The watch has a coin silver keywind case marked "C & L," presumably for Currier & L'heureux.
