Description

Gents Waltham wrist watch, 1928.

The watch has a 7 jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 26,875,546 which dates it back to 1928.

The watch measures 31mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 31mm high excluding the lugs. The case is gold plated and was made for Waltham by the Illinois Watch Case Company. The case is in good condition, just light rubbing and surface marks but nothing too detrimental at all.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has blued steel feuille shaped hands, a red number 12 and outer minute track. There are two very faint short hairlines if viewed through a jeweller’s loupe but the dial is sound and stable.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Waltham Wristwatch to the 1920s.

FAQs

Wristwatches from the 1920s often feature geometric cushion or tonneau cases, clear enamel dials with Arabic numerals, and a transition from pocket watches to wrist-worn designs.

These timepieces typically utilised gold-filled or solid gold cases, enamel dials, steel hands, and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by examining the movement serial numbers, hallmarked metal cases, hand-painted dial details, and the presence of period-correct mechanical movements.

A vintage timepiece serves as a sophisticated accessory that pairs well with tailored formal wear or elevated smart-casual outfits.

Regular servicing by a professional horologist, avoiding moisture exposure, and gentle manual winding ensure the longevity of the mechanical movement.
