Self Winding Watch Held by Umcage Representative
James Piggot of Umcage, a representative of the American Type Founders company, owns a rare self winding watch. The Chicago jeweler who crafted only twenty eight of these watches designed a spring wound by the wearer's motion via an oscillating weight and a ratchet mechanism. Pigott has worn the watch since 1883 and has never wound it unless idle for days. The patent holder's time is limited to a few years before market release, after which the device should gain popularity.
