The Illinois Watch Company has long had an honored place in the
annals of horological history. From their founding in 1869, through
their commitment to timekeeping excellence in the early 20th
century, to their development of many wonderful Art
Deco/Moderne-inspired wristwatches in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s,
Illinois was a leader in its field. Today their watches are highly
sought after by collectors, both for their engineering and beauty.
Here is the history of the company covered in great detail and with
solid research. Included are historical documents, vintage
photographs of the people and manufacturing processes at the
Illinois Factory, old advetisements, and a compendium of their
wristwatch production from their beginning until their sale to
Hamilton Watch Company. But the best part for the collector and
historian alike is a visual record of nearly every wristwatch
design ever created by Illinois Watch Company, and their
variations, in beautiful full color photographs. Each is
accompanied by complete information about the watch and its
production. In addition, scattered through the book are historical
references that place the Company's evolution in the context of the
general history of the period, and notes about the collectors of
these fine timepieces and the adventures they have had in pursuit
of them. Taken together this is an exciting and informative new
volume for those who appreciate and cherish old timepieces.
This new five-volume, boxed set completes the Illinois Watch story
in detail never before revealed, describing the American watch
industry at its inception and at the time of the Great Depression,
including the impact this economic disaster had on the watch
industry, in general, and on Illinois and its new corporate parent,
in particular. Organized into five distinct books, volume 1 is a
massive, in-depth history, placing the Illinois Watch Company in
the context of the American watch industry and detailing the
reasons that Hamilton eventually acquired the company. Volume 2
discusses the major components of Illinois wristwatches: movements,
dials, and cases. Special features include information about major
casemakers and manufacturers of watchbands, and interviews with
watch repairers and with the world's leading dial refinisher.
Volumes 3 and 4 comprise three complete identification guides, each
with superb color photographs, including a greatly expanded guide
to the Illinois men's wristwatches, the most comprehensive guide
ever undertaken for the Illinois ladies's models, and a new guide
detailing the men's and ladies' watches in the Hamilton-Illinois
line introduced and sold by Hamilton between 1953 and 1955. Volume
5 provides information about collecting and tips on how to go about
doing it (plus an interview with four top collectors). Beautifully
illustrated throughout, these books include many rare
advertisements in addition to pictures of the watches themselves.
