Jules Jürgensen, Copenhagen, Movement No. 9485, Case No. 9485, 52 mm, 126 g, circa 1860
A gold hunting case precision pocket watch
Case: 18k gold, presentation engraving, case maker's punch mark "JAD 17291" and "JJ". Dial: enamel. Movm.: bridge movement, large gold screw compensation balance.
The engraving lists three members of the Coleman family: Edwards W. Coleman, W. Hoyt Coleman and Moss M. Coleman. Hoyt is likely to be William Hoyt Coleman, son of Edwards White Coleman, who was born around 1840 in Hartford, Connecticut. During the Americal Civil War he was an orderly in a Washington hospital and is rumoured to have been a guest at a reception held by Abraham Lincoln at that time. He later established a nursery in the New York area. Hoyt was known as the author of many articles in various magazines, some of which he also worked for as editorial journalist; a regular subject of his contributions was the history of his congregation, the Christian Union. He died in July 1937 at a very old age.
