Model 19 Specifications

Model 19 was described by Roy Ehrhardt in his Identification and Price Guide to American Pocket Watches [*15] as a 6-size hunting movement in gilt or nickel, pendant or lever set, with a Breguet hairspring, sharing the EA 821 configuration with Model 18 movements. One might initially conclude that the Breguet hairspring is the only difference between the movements; but that is not actually the case.  As a study of Model 17 teaches us, when Seth Thomas designed a 6-size movement to utilize the Breguet hairspring a subtle modification was made to the regulator and the balance bridge to maximize the effectiveness of the Breguet hairspring for that movement. That subtle design modification was also found on Model 19 regulators and balance bridges.

Model 20 Specifications

The 0-size Model 20 was the only 0-size model that Seth Thomas manufactured, and it was produced in a very limited quantity; but filled the bill in demonstrating the Seth Thomas commitment to diversity and beauty in their product lines. The 0-size Model 20 joined the 18-size Model 2 and 6-size Model 14 in having a split 3/4 top plate. While its underlying orientation is hunting cased it is not unusual to see 0-size conversion dials used to case the movements as open-face without a seconds bit.
