A Waltham Traveler Silver Half Hunter Pocket Watch

A Waltham Traveler silver half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed American Waltham, U.S.A. Traveler and the serial number 21918815 which dates it back to 1918. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for Birmingham 1922 with a maker’s mark for the Dennison Watch Case Company… Aaron Dennison had very close connections with Waltham. The case front has blue enamel filled Roman numerals around the small acrylic lens. The case has light surface marking from use and mild bruising to the back but overall it is in nice condition for a 1920s piece.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition. The original glasses ones were often replaced with acrylic if they broke because it is a much more durable material and looks so similar.

The signed dial is in good condition. It has the special half hunter hour hand... it is designed so that the hands can be distinguished between when the front cover is closed, so that the time can be read.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.

Price includes worldwide postage.
