Antique Silver Waltham Pocket Watch and Chain with History

Antique silver Waltham pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement, Traveler grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number, 12,280,516, dates it back to 1903. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which a previous owner has scratched the names Edie Walshaw & Chas R Danes.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Swiss hallmarks for 935 silver inside both of the case backs. The case has engine turned detail to the back, together with a central vacant cartouche. Overall the case is in good condition with just the odd minor mark.

The lens is glass, it has general small marks across the main face and a little nibbling to the bevelled edge but overall acceptable for a piece of its age.

The dial has blued steel hands (some of the finish has come off the minute hand), a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There are three or four short faint hairline cracks towards the edge of the dial.

The watch comes with a single silver chain with graduated links. Also included is a later 1937 silver running fob.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
