44 mm Waltham 17 jewel Waltham from 1896

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 pocket watch was manufactured in Waltham, Massachusetts, and was finished in 1896. It is powered by the Royal grade movement, which is a 17 jewel Waltham in-house movement that was produced between 1895-1922. The movement has been restored and custom refinished with blue accents, and the movement screws have been finished in blue as well. The accents were created through thermally treating each movement part by hand to color the iron based components. The hands of the watch have not been restored and are in their original condition. The Waltham dial is porcelain-enamel with Arabic Numbers and is in near flawless condition. The watch is cased in a new wrist watch conversion case so the watch can be enjoyed on your wrist. The watch comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
