Other Details

 

NOTES:   This watch takes the same crystal as the watch in my collection identified as the Monogram.  That ID was made based on the belief that the Kirkwood takes a larger crystal, but it does not.  Apparently, the crystal listed in the 1937 G-S Catalog for the Kirkwood--which is not the same crystal used by this watch--applies only to the earlier version of the Kirkwood, which can be viewed here:   1931 Kirkwood.   This slightly later version of the Kirkwood takes the crystal identified as belonging to the Monogram in the 1937 G-S Crystal Catalog.  That leads to the possibility that the watch I have identified as the Monogram is really another Kirkwood, just with slightly different features from this example, typical of watches in the mid-1930s.
