Henry Molineux is a factory named grade manufactured in Seth Thomas Model 2 and Model 3 with either 17 or 20 jewels, a Breguet hairspring and Higginbotham hairspring stud, micrometric regulator, and adjusted to an unspecified number of positions.

The 1888-1889 Seth Thomas 18-size hunting Model 2 pocket watch pictured above was manufactured with a nickel finished divided 3/4 plate, 17 jewels, and it is adjusted. The movement is stem wound and lever set, with a Higginbotham hairspring stud, Breguet hair spring, and micrometric regulator. Its serial number is 55034, and its grade is Seth Thomas named grade Henry Molineux. This is the 34th Model 2 Henry Molineux grade pocket watch manufactured by Seth Thomas. The lowest Henry Molineux serial number that I have seen is 54999 and that was a Model 3. The movement is signed “Henry Molineux”.

The movement presents with an 18-size double-sunk Seth Thomas #1228 Roman dial with a ring minute track and red five-minute marginals. It is fitted with Seth Thomas #1284 blued Fleur-de-Lis hands, 18-size. This was the standard compliment of dial and hands for movements in the Henry Molineux factory named grade.

The movement is cased in an open-face 18-size 14k gold-filled, 20-year Crescent Watch Case Company hunting pocket watch case with hinged back and front covers. The case’s serial number is 137968.
