Description

Antique Waltham pocket watch, 1917.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, grade 620, which is working nicely. The 620 grade is a very nice quality 15-jewel movement with patterned plates, a Church 1892 patent regulator and a Breguet hairspring for enhanced precision. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 21,479,077 which dates it back to 1917. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Star model by the Birmingham based watch case maker Aaron Dennison. Dennisons supplied most of the cases for Waltham UK. The case has the odd small mark but nothing too serious at all.

The acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The signed dial is in good condition, just a small nibble to the outer edge at 1 but you have to look closely to see it. Original blued steel hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
