Waltham No 225 from 1904 with a Fancy Dial

American Waltham Watch Co. was in operation from 1852-1957 and was an American pocket watch manufacturer. Manufacturing of Waltham watches took place at their facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.

This Waltham timepiece, crafted in Waltham, Massachusetts, was finished in 1904. It is driven by the No 225 grade movement, a 17-jewel Waltham in-house mechanism produced from 1903 to 1934. The movement has undergone restoration and custom refinishing, introducing distinctive blue accents to the movement hardware including the screws. These accents are achieved by individually thermally treating each movement part, coloring the iron-based components by hand. The original golden-colored Louis XIV-style hands remain unrestored. The Waltham porcelain-enamel dial is flawless, free from any chips or cracks, showcasing elegant golden inlay and a central touch of blue. Encased in a new silver-colored wristwatch conversion case, this allows the watch to be worn on the wrist, functioning akin to a modern-day wristwatch. The timepiece is fully serviced and prepared for your next adventure.
