Antique Waltham Pocket Watch, 1904

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Waltham pocket watch, 1904.

The watch has a grade 81 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 13,952,752 which dates it back to 1904.

The watch measures 58mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case was supplied to Waltham by the Keystone Watch Case Company. It is marked as being “Silveroid”, an alloy often used in watch cases around this time, and it came under various names such as Silverore and Silverine. The case is in lovely condition.

The signed dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer red 5 minute markers. There is a chip to the centre of the dial, and a short faint hairline running down from number 12 but it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Founded in 1850 in Massachusetts, the Waltham Watch Company pioneered mass production of precision timepieces using interchangeable parts. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Waltham produced millions of pocket watches, becoming a cornerstone of industrial horology.

Edwardian pocket watches frequently featured cases crafted from sterling silver, nickel, or gold plate, housing enamel or porcelain dials. The movements utilised steel gears, brass plates, and synthetic rubies or sapphires as jewel bearings to reduce friction.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the movement serial number, which corresponds to Waltham manufacturing ledgers from 1904. The movement should feature clear manufacturer engravings, while the dial typically displays printed brand lettering and distinct Arabic or Roman numerals.

An antique pocket watch can be worn traditionally in a waistcoat pocket with a fob chain or carried in a dedicated jacket pocket. Alternatively, it can be displayed on a desktop watch stand or presented inside a glass dome as an accent piece.

Keep the pocket watch stored in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid exposure to magnetic fields or water. Professional servicing by a horologist every three to five years ensures the mechanical movement remains clean, lubricated, and operational.
