In the 1970's Robert F. Kilb wrote "Pocket watch crowns: These are especially troublesome, due primarily to a steadily diminishing availability of replacement crowns. It is no longer economically feasible for the crown manufacturers to produce the huge variety of pocket watch crowns they once did, due both to declining overall demand, and skyrocketing production costs per unit. There has been a certain resurgence of demand recently with the popularity of pocket watches (especially the smaller hunting case varieties) as collector’s items, but manufacturers' and wholesalers' stocks of replacement crowns are practically exhausted. It is sad but true that owners of fine pocket watches will find it increasingly difficult, and often impossible, to fine proper replacement crowns for these time pieces."
This large selection will not last, since quantities of many sizes are limited to the 1 or 2 remaining crowns we still have. |
