Description

Antique Waltham gun metal pocket watch for Fattorini, 1898.

The watch has a good quality 13-jewel gilt stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number dates it back to 1898.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gun metal which is an alloy of copper, tin and zinc which was originally used in gun manufacture but was later replaced by steel. The case is in good condition and it has gold highlights which really lift the overall look of the piece.

The watch glass has light marking, nothing serious at all.

The dial is signed by the original retailer of the watch, Fattorini & Sons, Bradford. It is in lovely condition.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
