Some sources of information on the history of railroad grade pocket watches and other topics of interest to watch and clock collectors and horology enthusiasts.
The place to start is
Horology - The Index, the website of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, or NAWCC. There you can find horological organizations, information on horological science and the development of timekeeping devices, and useful tips on antique pocket watch repair and restoration as well as buying, selling, appraisal and collecting antique watches and clocks. They also have a very nice
virtual watch and clock museum tour with all kinds of interesting horological information and pictures.
To get a quick overview of the development of portable timepieces, from clock-watches of the 16th century to the railroad grade pocket watches of the late 19th century, see wiki's
watch page.
To find definitions of words used for the various parts of watch movements and other technical terms used in horology, see
Barry Goldberg's watch information page.
If you would like to understand the intricacies of how things like balance wheels and
lever escapements work, check out
The Horologium.
Some interesting perspectives from noted collectors of antique pocket watches:
Tom McIntyre talks about collecting American Watch Co. products of the Waltham Watch Company, including lots of historical details about watch companies, watch movements, and informed antique "railroad" watch collecting.
Vintage watch and clock expert Jonathan Snellenburg talks about the societal forces driving watch and clock technology and the historic cultural changes that resulted from better timepieces, as well as technical details of the progression from the verge escapement through pocket watches to wrist watches.
Horologist Barry S. Goldberg gives advice on collecting antique American made pocket watches, including great tips for beginners on things like gold-filled and silveride cases, two tone watch movements, and how the original authenticity of railroad grade pocketwatches can be compromised.
The Ohio
jeweler and watchmaker Webb Ball led the commission that established the
General Railroad Timepiece Standards, standardizing railroad chronometer specifications.
