Antique Silver Waltham Pocket Watch, 1892

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

An antique silver Waltham pocket watch, 1892.
 
The watch has a key-wound movement, Home Watch Co grade, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Waltham name and the serial number of 5,386,520 means that it was made between May and October 1892. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover, there are some scratches where something has marked it when the key has been turned.
 
The watch itself measures 52mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the two case backs for Birmingham 1892 together with a maker’s mark for Alfred Bedford, the manager of the London branch of Waltham. The case has the odd minor mark, and rubbing to the engine turned detail through years of use, but overall is in nice condition for such an early piece.
 
The watch glass is in good condition.
 
The signed dial has a short faint hairline between 3 and 4 but otherwise looks good with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
 
The watch comes with a silver double albert, with each chain measuring 28cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. There is also an interesting silver and 10ct gold swivel.
 
The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
