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.
Crafted in Waltham, Massachusetts, and completed in 1924, this Waltham timepiece is driven by the grade No 1235 movement—a 17-jewel Waltham in-house movement produced from 1924 to 1934. The movement has been completely restored and refinished by incorporating stylish blue accents to the screws and movement hardware. These accents were achieved through the precise hand-thermal treatment of each movement part to color the iron-based components. The hands of the watch have also been restored using the same thermal treatment process.
The Waltham dial, made of metal, boasts a captivating laurel wreath motif at the center, with golden numerals that shimmer in the light. Encased in a newly designed silver-colored wristwatch conversion case, this timepiece ensures comfortable wear with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, providing a more tailored fit for wrists of various sizes. The case, equipped with front, back, and crown gaskets, offers water resistance up to 50 meters, although it is advisable to remove the watch before engaging in water activities. Having undergone thorough servicing, this timepiece is ready for your upcoming adventures.
