i didn't order much out of the signature catalog but saw this and thought what the heck. Like all of the items I have ordered from the Holiday Memories catalog this was a pleasant surprise. Initial thoughts are very well made and very cool. It is made in the UK by AE Williams. Not sure if they are a great watch maker but it looks pretty nice and they seem to be highly rated. I have not wound it yet.
A a nice little gem.

MartyE,
From which vendor did you purchase the watch? I have looked on line and have not found it listed, by any of the forum sponsors.
Thanks,
George
Hi! where did you get this neat timepiece? Details please
I got it at my one and only LHS Imperial Train Company.
MartyE,
I want one, how do I order one? I do not have the Catalogue. Got the sight to come up, but no inventory list on line. Will call tomorrow morning about the pocket watch, I do own an original Lionel wrist watch.
Drop me your mailing address again, some how I deleted it, before I saved it.

Call Imperial they don't have it on the website. They sold the last 2 while I was there so he was ordering more.
tel:724-695-7552
Very nice addition for Lionel collectors.
Very nice. Enjoy your new purchase.
Marty:
VERY NICE - THANKS for sharing! I plan to get one. 
I have a nice Swiss-made Aster/Fulgurex wind-up pocket watch from about 1996. It has a 17 jewel movement with a separate sweep second hand. I keep it under a glass dome display stand.
Unfortunately, the back on my watch must be removed to reveal the beautiful movement. 
It does have a nice relief engraving of a Swiss steam loco on the back cover, and an inscription "veritable montre chemin-de-fer"on the front case, which translates from the French as "genuine railroad watch".
Greg: What's a "suit"? I thought it was what lawyers did. 
Just curious: Does it have jeweled movement?
THANKS for the info!
I noted that one of our forum sponsors, Nicholas Smith Trains also has it in stock.

MSRP is $99.99
N.Smith sells it for $74.99, plus shipping and tax(PA. residents only).
BTW, Lionel lists it as out of stock.

Oh I like that a lot. Very nice purchase, Marty.
