The Seth Thomas Research website was created to reconstruct the factory's 30-year output of pocket watch production and exists as a gathering point for data. It's the most accurate and comprehensive online resource for vintage Seth Thomas pocket watches, featuring:
Learn all about your vintage Seth Thomas pocket watch.
Check to see if your great-grandfather was a jeweler.
Find out the most recent updates and discoveries.
If you have any examples in your collection or have paper records then please contact us.
Your watch will be categorized based on model, grade, finish and jewel count, and logged on the appropriate chart, adding to the totals and making the search functions more accurate. It will be classified on what it really is and not by projected numbers or wishful thinking, nor will it be "verified" by unknown persons. Please report any errors that you discover.

Actual accuracy for the month of May 2021 was found to be 5.23 times greater.
A recent check of the PWD User Uploads found search return errors for five of the eight featured watches. Incredibly, 63% of the historical antiques in this search were misclassified (serial numbers 235438, 237982, 286095, 1776174, and 2533157) and will likely remain that way, setting the errors in stone, since the bulk of the collecting public will apparently believe anything found in the PWD without questioning it.
