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 1919, this Waltham timepiece features the Royal grade movement—a 17-jewel, in-house Waltham workhorse produced between 1895 and 1922. The movement has been fully restored and refinished with stylish blue accents on the screws and movement hardware, achieved through precise, hand-applied thermal coloring. The watch hands have been restored using the same thermal coloring process. The jewel settings, gear train, balance, and balance weights were individually hand-polished, restoring their original golden luster and sheen. The Waltham dial, made of porcelain enamel, is in excellent condition. The heat-blued hands contrast brilliantly against the dial, making time-checking a visual delight.

The timepiece is encased in a surgical grade 316L stainless steel conversion case, designed with adjustable lugs for easy winding and setting, ensuring a comfortable fit across various wrist sizes. The case includes front, back, and crown gaskets, providing water resistance up to 50 meters, though it is recommended to remove the watch before engaging in water activities. The timepiece comes fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
