A Waltham Pocket Watch, 1909, with Chain

A Waltham pocket watch, 1909, with chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, grade 210, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 17,839,676 dates it back to 1909.

The watch measures 45mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop so it is slightly smaller than the older 50mm watches but it fits in with the slimness of the piece, it is a very elegant watch. The case was made by the Illinois Watch Case Company and, rather unusually, is made of aluminium and a type of painted or enamelled finish. The case has light marks to the back but overall it is in good condition.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial is in good condition and unusually has the subsidiary seconds dial at 3 o’clock. Blued steel hands and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a single chain which measures 32cm long including the clasps… the chain is a slightly different colour to the watch but they all sit nicely together.

The watch and chain comes in a vintage snake skin effect presentation box.
