| NORMAN - A founder of the world's largest Internet site for sales of antique watches has set a record for the highest price ever obtained for an American watch, an "engineering masterpiece."
Eric Enge, a Norman man who founded oldwatch.com with his partner, Glen Butler, said Tuesday he closed a deal this week on an extremely rare "crystal plate" Waltham pocket watch for $101,000.
"It's the first time an American-made watch broke the $100,000 mark," Enge said.
