Antique Waltham Pocket Watch with Military History

An antique Waltham Traveler pocket watch with military history.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, Traveler grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 21,017136 dates it back to 1917.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which is an engraving to Corporal Harry Whatmough from the people of Farnworth in recognition of distinguished service during the Great War.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific manufacturer of cases for various watch factories. The case is in good condition and the case back has the initials HW.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The signed white enamel dial just has a small hairline between 7 and 8 but otherwise is in good condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
