Vintage Tiffany & Co. Oversized "Goliath" Pocket Watch Openface 70mm Swiss Made

Watch Overview

This is a rare vintage oversized "Goliath" mechanical pocket watch signed by Tiffany & Co., measuring approximately 70mm in diameter. Large pocket watches of this size were often intended for travel or display and were sometimes used with desk stands due to their substantial dimensions.

Based on the design and construction, the watch likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, during the late Victorian to early Edwardian era.

The case bears Swiss markings consistent with silver or high-grade silver alloy cases used during the period. With its impressive 70mm diameter, this timepiece falls within the category commonly referred to as “Goliath” pocket watches—significantly larger than standard vest pocket watches of the time.

The dial is signed Tiffany & Co. During this period, Tiffany did not manufacture their own movements but instead retailed watches fitted with high-quality Swiss movements produced by respected manufacturers.

The watch features a classic white enamel dial with bold Arabic numerals, a railroad minute track, blued steel hands, and a subsidiary seconds register at the 6 o’clock position.

The movement is a gilt-finished Swiss manual-winding movement with a fine regulator adjustment system. A pin-set mechanism is located near the crown, requiring the small pin to be pressed while turning the crown to set the time.

This timepiece runs accurately and is ready to enjoy.
