Pierpont Watch Co. 11222 B – circa 1942, 32 mm A distinctive vintage men's wristwatch from the Second World War era, dating to approximately 1942. Original markings on the inside of the case back: 557894 11222 B The 11222 B case family is documented on other period Pierpont watches; a comparable example numbered 557592 / 11222 B is also dated to around 1942. The 557894 case number falls within the known serial-number range of wartime Pierpont D.H. service watches. However, no D.H. military acceptance marking is visible on this watch, so it is not offered as a proven military-issued piece.
