The rising price of precious metals has people selling inherited pocketwatches for the scrap value of the cases, leaving the beautiful, unique dials and movements behind. These pieces are incredible works of art and engineering from a time where quality workmanship was highly valued. The phrase "they don't make 'em like they used to" has never been more true. The fact that these 100+ year-old movements still function is testament to that.
Code Six Customs gives you the opportunity to wear a piece of horological history on your wrist with the "Antique Mod" line. I source antique pocketwatch movements & dials from local jewelers and other reputable dealers, and mount them in modern stainless steel cases which were designed and manufactured specifically to house pocket watch movements. This creates the perfect "marriage" of old and new (this is where the term "marriage watch" originated).
As 100+ year old antiques, the porcelain dials sometimes show patina which may include discoloration, chips, cracks, and/or crazing making each Antique-Mod 100% unique.
Each movement bears the original manufacturer's serial number, which determines the year of manufacture and other details about the movement.
Code Six Customs takes the Antique-Mod to the next level with full custom cases, stems, and crowns manufactured specifically to house pocketwatch movements. Antique-Mods feature meticulously curated movements, dials and hands, and have locking stem functions just like a modern wristwatch. C6C Antique-Mods are for the elite watch collector who doesn't compromise.
