Need help for Transmitter Pocket Watch

Post by rsaffle »

I'm working on the pocket watch transmitter. Question...what episode or episodes did it appear in and does anyone have good pictures of it? Especially the back of it? If anyone knows what kind of watch its based on that we would be helpful too.

I've been looking for that base watch for years now!! I even put the images on several vintage pocket watch boards to see if anyone knows the maker of the dial or case? No leads. Here are some more images. Haven't updated my site linked in a long while!
p.s. That watch is around somewhere as it was included in an 1990 auction.

A. Pennyworth, I knew you were the go to on that pocket watch as you've been on it for ages.
That Christie's auction back in the nineties had so much stuff that I haven't really seen since.

Thank you Scott and Pennyworth! I should have credited you for the pictures I posted too. I go to your site often...would love an update!
The sides of this watch look so alien to me.
Personally I would be suprised if its a real watch. It almost looks like the designer added holes for possible future gadgets. I had found the auction photo but it didn't show much. Found this illustration that shows an interesting pattern on the back.

The photo you showed of the back makes it look like there are two bulges where the antenna comes out but then I don't see them on the side view. It's confusing.
