Antique Silver Waltham Traveler Pocket Watch

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver Waltham Traveler pocket watch.

The watch has a seven-jewel stem-winding movement, Traveler grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed, and it has the serial number 21,790,880 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 silver and there are hallmarks inside both case backs for Birmingham 1919, with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, case manufacturer and supplier to Waltham UK. The front and sides of the case are in good condition, some fairly gentle unevenness to the case back.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial looks good to the naked eye, original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There are some very faint short hairlines, but they are only just visible through a jeweller’s loupe, so very faint.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

This Edwardian open-face pocket watch dates to 1917 and follows the classic style of a gentleman's library accessory. The circular case is formed from silver with a polished finish and a knurled brass-coloured winding stem and loop at the top. The white enamel dial displays black Arabic numerals alongside a subsidiary seconds dial at the six o'clock position and outer minute markers. The piece features blued steel hands and delicate inscriptions on the dial face denoting the maker and origin. Visible details include a subsidiary dial with its own numerical track, black markings throughout the face, and a rounded glass lens covering the dial. The case back exhibits gentle surface unevenness from age, while the crown exhibits vertical fluting and a domed top. The watch measures 50 mm in diameter, excluding the winding stem and loop. This collectible timepiece suits display within a domestic study or cabinet setting.

The Waltham Watch Company, established in Massachusetts in 1850, pioneered the American system of watch manufacturing using interchangeable precision parts. Their pocket watches played a pivotal role in industrial timekeeping and railroad standardization during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Pocket watches from this era typically feature cases crafted from sterling silver, nickel, or gold plate, housing mechanical movements built with brass plates, steel gears, and synthetic ruby jewels to minimise friction.

Authenticity is verified by checking the serial number engraved directly onto the watch movement, which corresponds to Waltham production ledgers, alongside makers hallmarks stamped inside the case back.

An antique pocket watch can be carried traditionally in a waistcoat pocket attached to an Albert chain, or displayed in a modern home inside a glass dome stand or shadow box frame.

Maintain a mechanical pocket watch by storing it in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing, avoiding contact with magnetic fields, and having the movement serviced and lubricated by a professional horologist every three to five years.
