This may seem like an ordinary watch, but it was specially designed to allow the user to tell time by touch—making it the perfect gift for Helen Keller.
The studs around the outside of the case correspond to the hours on the watch’s dial. On the back of the case there is a revolving hand. It’s location corresponds to the time, allowing the user to feel the time.
This touch-watch was originally owned by a John Hitz, a retired diplomat. Hitz could have used the watch to discretely check the time in meetings.
In 1892, Hitz gave the watch to Helen Keller, who was 12 years old at the time.
Keller prized the watch and used it her entire life. Once, in 1952, Keller accidentally left the watch behind in a New York City taxi. With ads in newspaper lost-and-found columns and the help of the head of the city's pawnbrokers, she recovered her prized possession from a hock shop. Today it is part of our collection.
