Antique Silver Waltham P S Bartlett Pocket Watch

Antique silver Waltham P S Bartlett pocket watch.

The watch has a super quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed P S Bartlett which is the movement grade… Patten Sargeant Bartlett was one of the early employees of the Boston Watch Company which went on to become the Waltham Watch Company. He subsequently left Waltham to work for the National Watch Company at Elgin Illinois but eventually returned to Waltham to work as a salesman before opening his own wholesale business. As well as being fully signed, the movement also has the serial number 5,686,543 which dates it back to 1892/93. The movement has a beautiful damascened finish and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 55mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case was made by the Crescent Watch Case Company… the outer case is stamped ‘sterling’ while the inner cover is stamped ‘nickel’. The back of the watch has a lovely design of leaves and flowers, with a vacant cartouche to the centre. There is a patch of slight unevenness to the back of the watch but overall the condition is very good.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The white enamel dial is in lovely condition and the shaped hands are a particularly charming feature.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
