You should consult the serial number table for the specific brand of watch movement you are trying to date by selecting a company from the menu on the left. Not all vintage watches can be dated using the serial number.
Some American watch brands did not use a consistent series of serial numbers, but most of the big manufacturers did. Most vintage Swiss pocket watches did NOT have serial numbers and can't be dated by this method. Many watch companies made hundreds of thousands of watches, and some companies made millions of watches! So to determine when your watch was manufactured, you will need to find where your serial number fits within the range of numbers.
Let's say you have a Waltham watch with serial number 21,, as shown in the photo below. Nevertheless, the company began producing watches and for a while it was rolling along. By the end of it employed workers. But the end came pretty swiftly. The goal of making and selling 10, watches a year was unrealistic given Germany's economic situation at the time. The company was dealt a death blow when German currency declined in and exports went to zero.
The Swiss, those sneaky bastards, were able to circumvent the import ban into Germany on their watches, which didn't help. In , there was a mass exodus of most of the cooperative members and the rest left a year later. The company tried to reorganize in January, but ultimately filed for bankruptcy six months later.

It's in pristine condition and the craftsmanship is excellent.
It's a dead accurate timekeeper, which is always a bonus. Having just purchased an A. Purcell , Dr. Jon , Ethan Lipsig and 2 others. I forgot to include what the dealer in England told me about the watch's provenance: The previous history is unknown but in it was given as a wedding present from a former German Luftwaffe Pilot to a former British Royal Air Force Bomber Rear Gunner. They had no children, so he then left the watch to his niece of Sheffield, England.
She, in turn, wasn't really into watches and also had no children, so she stored it in a safe deposit box for many years until she finally sold it to the British watch dealer.
I, on the other hand, have two kids and a granddaughter, so this watch is unlikely to make its way back to Germany or England for at least the next few generations. And it won't be stored in a safe deposit box at least as long as I'm around. Last edited: Dec 14, Purcell and viclip. Jan 7, 43 65 Country. Interesting history. Interesting mix of players.
