A classic example of American horological excellence, this elegant Waltham pocket watch reflects the distinguished craftsmanship of the early 20th century. The timepiece features a bright white enamel dial with bold black Arabic numerals, a red 24-hour inner track, and a sub-seconds dial at six o’clock. The hands retain their original blued finish, and the crystal remains clear, showcasing the dial’s pristine symmetry.
Encased in a richly toned gold-filled case, this watch exemplifies both durability and timeless appeal. The case shows only light age-appropriate wear and has a smooth, polished finish — characteristic of Waltham’s superior American design. The watch is fully running and keeping time, demonstrating the quality of its mechanical movement.
Accompanying the watch is a finely matched 1/20 12K gold-filled chain and swivel clasp, elegantly hallmarked. Together, they complete a sophisticated presentation — equally at home in a collector’s display or worn as a statement piece of enduring vintage style.
