In 1850, at Roxbury, Massachusetts, David Davis, Edward Howard, and Aaron Lufkin Dennison formed the company that would later become the Waltham Watch Company. If you are interested in a servicing for any vintage mechanical watch movement please contact me at vintagecollections02 for more information and rough estimate. All of my movements are completely taken down cleaned and reassembled using all original parts. Movement is a Model 1894 American Waltham Watch Company 17 jewel adjusted, Serial number 13,485,283, which dates this pocket watch to 1903-1904. Pocket watch has a white porcelain dial with sunken second dial with original blued hour, minute and second hand. I'm sounding like a bit of a buzzkill on this watch, but there's a reason not many people wear vintage watches like this one - same reason bikers don't all ride around on vintage Indians - newer models are just plain better at their jobs, and keeping old machines running to spec is usually difficult and often impossible.Īll that said, best of luck with your search.American Waltham Watch Company Size 12 pocket watch gold filled case marked Crescent 25 year rolled gold open face pocket watch case. He might even be able to sell you a watch to wear while the Waltham's in being serviced! Thirdly and this is important - do you have a good relationship with a reputable and experienced watchmaker? If so, great - your relationship will only grow closer and more intimate as you send the watch in for regular service, and he'll be pleased to have you as a new source of income. I would be wary of washing my hands while wearing it - I don't see any seals around that crown. This watch is hugely more likely to break than a modern one. On vintage watches both shock resistance and water resistance are (a) less technologically developed and (b) likely compromised due to the passage of time. It will also look somewhat unusual worn in public if that matters to you I would only recommend this watch for a woman to wear for this reason.
If you are a man, other men will likely point out the 'daintiness' of your watch. I imagine you've seen a ladies' Swatch model at some point in your life this is smaller. Nice looking watch, especially the sides of the case - lotsa personality.įirstly this is a small watch. I'm with (no surprises) Liberalguy123 here.
