An antique silver Waltham pocket watch, 1894.

The watch has a key-wound movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Am Watch Co Waltham Mass and the serial number 6898765 which dates it back to 1895. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 53.5mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1894 with a maker’s mark for Alfred Bedford, the manager of the London branch of Waltham. The case has light surface marks from use and some mild bruising ot the back but overall it is in nice condition for an 1890s piece. The inner dust cover has a personal inscription possibly the original owners name.

The acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The signed white enamel dial has a couple of faint hairline cracks although hardly noticeable.

The watch has its original gold hands and a later blued steel sub second hand although antique.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
