Antique 1902 Waltham Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique 1902 Waltham pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, grade number 18, which is working nicely. The beautifully patterned movement is fully signed and the serial number 11,849,217 dates it back to 1902.

The watch measures 55mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case was made by a company called Fahys, a New York based case maker, and it is marked as being OreSilver. This was an alloy often used in watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silveroid and Silverine. The case has a couple of pin prick marks to the back and some surface scratching also to the back but overall the condition is pretty good for such an early piece.

The watch glass has a 3mm scratch and other smaller marks across it but is acceptable.

The signed dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track with red numbers.

The watch comes with a heavy duty single chain with graduated links, 36cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
