Antique Silver Waltham Riverside Pocket Watch, 1891

Antique silver Waltham Riverside pocket watch, 1891.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, Riverside grade, which is working nicely. This is a high grade movement with beautifully patterned nickel movement, short tadpole patent regulator, Breguet hairspring and screw-set jewels. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1891 together with the initials AB for Alfred Baume, Managing Director of Baume & Co, watch maker and importer. The case has minor marking but overall is in good condition for such an early piece.

The watch glass is in lovely condition and has a nice deep bevelled edge.

The dial is in lovely condition and has blued steel hands, a sunken subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a presentation box from John Payne, jeweller of Blackpool.
