Historical Significance

This watch represents a trifecta of collectibility:

Horological: Invicta’s turn-of-the-century repeaters were award-winning Swiss masterpieces.
Masonic: The specialized dial suggests this was a presentation piece for a high-ranking member of the Freemasons (of which Theodore Roosevelt was a prominent member, Matinecock Lodge No. 806).
Political: The combination of the Roosevelt portrait and the US Great Seal makes this a pinnacle piece of "Americana."
