Antique Waltham Pocket Watch and Albertina

Antique Waltham pocket watch and albertina.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, grade 220, which is working nicely. This is a good quality movement with nicely patterned plates and a star wheel regulator. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 8,734,869 dates it back to 1898.

The watch measures 43mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop so slightly smaller than a standard 50mm pocket watch, but not as small as a lady's fob watch. The case is white gold filled and it is nicely decorated, including a diamond shaped cartouche to the screw-on case back.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The signed white enamel dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers with red numbers. There are a few hairline cracks to the dial but they are faint.

The watch comes with a single albert, probably Continental 800 silver, 22cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

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