Father’s Day is right around the corner and if you didn’t know already a watch is one of the easiest gifts to give a spouse or father. Watches are practical and everyone notices a good watch. If you’ve been thinking about buying a fathers day watch I’ll give you my top picks and brand names. Right now there are some fathers day sales and coupons out at various stores. I’ll mention that towards the end of the post.

First you should think what type of father you are shopping for.

• Active: If he is active, a sports watch or similar would be perfect.
• Collectors: Always know their favorite watch brand
• Artist: Look out for something different. These don’t actually have to be the same brand name each time
• Aviator: Everything aviation if its their type there is a watch.

I received a watch appraisal recently from a user who requested information and value of a Ladies Gold Wrist Watch which I suspect should have significant value. Here are the details:

Watchmaker: Willard Watch Co.

Type: Ladies Watch

Description

• The Watch Casing and Band are 14kt White Gold.
• The Face of the Watch Has Willard on it and Has Blue Hands.
• The Watch Stem has a Clear Dark Blue
• Stone at the end.
• The watch is a 15 Jewel-Two Movement
• Stamped Willard Watch Co.

From my thorough research, I have found that the only Willard Watch Company specializes in clock making and grand father clocks. On the Willard Family website there are photos of many wall clocks and only one mention of a wrist watch. I recommend contacting this company to get more information on the value.

The owner of the vintage gold pocket watch was able to send me a photo of the watch which would help move forward in researching the value. Basic information of pocket watches made in Europe during the 1930s and gold have value but not as much as you may think.

Spelling engraving and inside clock maneuvering makes a difference in the value and worth of a pocket watch. However, due to little information online about this specific pocket watch, I am unable to get the pricing at the moment. My current watch pricing guide does not contain this information either. Most publishers and books giving brief explanation of pocket watches made in Europe which is a pity and shame.

This is an update with the photo and my promise to keep trying to find the value of this watch.
