Later example serial # 10430 circa 1919 (35 station 22 inch square) pics
above show Seth Thomas #10 chart drive,mechanism and Petis and Randall
sticker. The two above are from the Bill Kapp collection.
   


the above clocks come from a private collection. A gorgeous 60 beat self
winding movement that appears original to the case. The screw holes in
the back match perfectly to the self winding bracket. Note the door
opening from right to left which is typical on these Watchman clocks. I
can't see where the watchman's device was mounted , if it ever was. I
would expect it to be on the left side of the case, with the paper dial
centered between the Clock dial
