Super Nice Watch!

I did notice something off on the timeline.

The time frame says 1911-1920, but the case has a patent shape applied for (May 25, 1921) but it doesn't have the 3-7-22 patent granted date for the Pentagon shape. So, doesn't the time frame have to be at least 1921 and before 1922?

Can someone with more knowledge chime in here?

Is this the only example of these early Pentagons or are there other pictures of these? Can you post?

Also, why doesn't this watch have a VeriThin Movement?  Ideas??

Looks like this was cased in Switzerland and not CINCINNATI
