With gold prices at an all time high, it seems that many high value watches are being smelted down and I would like to save a few if possible. What I know is that Bulova did not make gold watch cases in house. Accutron solid gold cased watches during the '60s had cases made by S&W (Schwab & Wuischpard) and by The Star Watch Case Company. Hamilton also used S&W. Starting in about 1971, some solid gold cases began turning up that are marked with a capital "J" with an arrow through it. I have found only one or two references to that mark on the Internet and those said it is that of Jackay Watch Case Co. Further searching turned up nothing for a company by that name. I would like to know the history but I have hit a dead end. Can anyone help? | ||

The correct company name for the trademark owner is Jonell Watch Case, Inc. http://www.trademarkia.com/company-jonell-watch-case-inc-660071-page-1-2 I think they were located in Long Island, NY. This would make sense as Bulova was HQ'd in New York as well. I've seen this mark on many watch cases, including some from Omega and Hamilton. Hope this helps, gatorcpa |
