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 timepiece was crafted in Waltham, Massachusetts and completed in 1892. The Waltham timepiece features the Cresent Street grade movement—a fine example of Waltham’s craftsmanship during the late 1800s. The movement has been fully restored and refinished, highlighted by stylish blue accents on the screws and movement hardware, achieved through precise thermal coloring by hand. The watch hands have been meticulously restored using the same process to achieve an even blue hue that contrasts beautifully with the white dial. The Waltham dial is porcelain-enamel, in excellent condition and features elegant Roman numerals. This is the quintessential example of American watchmaking and the reason it was held in such high regard.
The timepiece is enclosed in its original coin silver case, which is 90% silver. The movement is mounted on a hinge and can be accessed by removing the front bezel, while the caseback remains solid and non-removable. This design was intended to minimize the entry of dust and debris into the movement, a common feature to ensure maximum protection from the elements. The watch has been fully serviced and is ready for your next adventure.
