Description

Waltham Colonial pocket watch, 1936.

The watch has a 9-jewel stem-winding movement, Colonial b model, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 28,986,298 which dates it back to 1936.

The watch measures 44mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop, so slightly smaller than a standard 50mm pocket watch. The case is stainless steel and was made by the Star Watch Case Company, supplier to Waltham. The case is in lovely condition, as is the glass lens.

The signed dial is in beautiful original condition with handsome blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes with a single chain, 24cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Pocket Watch to the 1930s.

Pocket watches from the 1930s frequently incorporated streamlined Art Deco design elements, clear arabic numerals, and minimalist sector dials as wristwatches gained popularity.

These timepieces were typically constructed using base metals, nickel silver, rolled gold, or solid sterling silver for the outer cases, alongside brass and steel mechanical movements.

Authenticity is verified by examining the maker hallmarks stamped on the inner case back, serial numbers corresponding to movement production years, and the operational integrity of the mechanical gear train.

A vintage pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated acrylic stand, housed within a glass cloche on a mantelpiece, or styled alongside books and desk accessories in a study.

Keep the timepiece away from moisture and magnetic fields, store it in a dry environment, and have the internal mechanical movement professionally serviced and oiled periodically.
