Antique Waltham Pocket Watch, 1903

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Waltham pocket watch, 1903.

The watch has a high grade 15-jewel grade 420 stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has a Church 1892 patent regulator, Breguet hairspring and is fully signed, together with the serial number 12,181,000 which dates it back 1903.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has been engraved, ‘Percy L Haslam, Stanrose, Egerton, Bolton’… Mr Haslam lived at Stanrose Villas in Egerton. There is a little unevenness to this inner cover.

The watch measures 47mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, an English maker and supplier to Waltham UK. The back of the watch has Mr Haslam’s initials in very ornate form.

The glass lens has the odd small mark but is very acceptable.

The signed dial has one hairline crack but it is very faint. Blued steel hands in the Breguet style.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Founded in Massachusetts, the American Waltham Watch Company was a pioneer in mass-producing precision mechanical timepieces. During the Edwardian era, their pocket watches were globally renowned for reliable movements, standardized interchangeable parts, and clear dial layouts.

Pocket watches from this period typically feature cases made from solid gold, silver, or gold-filled rolled plate over base metals. Dials were commonly crafted from kiln-fired vitreous white enamel with hand-painted black numerals and blued steel hands.

Authenticity is verified by opening the back case to inspect the internal movement, which bears the stamped Waltham serial number and maker marks. Cross-referencing this serial number with historical production databases confirms the precise manufacture year and movement grade.

A pocket watch can be worn traditionally in a waistcoat pocket attached via an Albert chain, or placed in a jacket breast pocket. Alternatively, displaying the watch on a glass-domed stand or within an open valet tray adds a vintage horological accent to a desk or dresser.

Mechanical timepieces require regular servicing every three to five years by a qualified horologist to clean, lubricate, and adjust the movement. Keep the watch in a dry environment away from strong magnetic fields, and avoid over-winding the mainspring.
