This Burlington, which is really a private label, the movement is manufactured by Illinois, is a stunning example of the technical prowess that was able to be achieved in the early 1900's.  This is a chronometer grade movement (all details are below) and it's also a great looking movement to look at.  Well decorated, great jewel settings, thinness and A+ finishing makes this watch a fantastic dress piece.  The original white porcelain dial is flawless and there is no notable issues with the watch.  I just had it serviced March 2018 - it's running great and keeping excellent time.  There is a Masonic symbol with some initials on the case-back, the engravings were shallow and with some light wear, they don't stand out very much.  The crown jewel of this watch is it's fascinating stem wound and set movement which is difficult to take your eyes off of.  Thank you.
