The revolutionary hand setting mechanism of the HARWOOD is unique and is still today manufactured utilizing the original construction designs of 1922. A crown which is normally used to wind a wristwatch is absent; winding the watch as well as setting the hands, is achieved by turning the fluted bezel. A colored visual control indicator at the 6 o’clock position specifies whether the watch is operational or is in the adjusting mode.
As homage to John Harwood a new generation of watches was developed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of his patent of this legendary classic. This patented milestone is printed on the dial of the new HARWOOD:
HARWOOD WATCH CO.
