Specifications
Brand: Waltham
Type: Pocket Watch (Open Face)
Movement: Manual winding, 15 Jewels, beautifully engraved plates (damaskeening pattern)
Movement Serial Number: 26435473 (Dating the production to approximately 1928)
Case Diameter: 46.0 mm (excluding crown and bow)
Dial: Crisp white porcelain/enamel dial with Breguet-style Arabic numerals and a sunken sub-second dial at 6 o'clock.
Hands: Beautifully preserved, vibrant blued steel hands.
Accessories: Included silver-toned curb-link watch chain with bolt ring and swivel clasp.
Condition Report
Dial & Hands: The dial remains incredibly clean with sharp, bold numerals. Please note a very faint, hairline age crack on the right side of the dial running through the 3 and 4 o'clock positions (visible upon close inspection). The blued steel hands are in excellent condition and retain their brilliant blue hue.
Movement & Functionality: The 15-jewel manual movement is exceptionally clean and features gorgeous ornamental damaskeening texturing on the bridges. The watch is in working condition and currently running. Please note: The winding crown feels slightly loose when handling, but it functions as it should for winding and time-setting. As with all vintage timepieces, a routine service is recommended for daily use and optimal accuracy.
Case & Chain: The case shows minor hairline surface wear and light pocket friction consistent with its age, but is free from major dings or deep scratches. The matching chain is fully functional.
Shipping & Packaging
The item will be securely packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance to ensure it arrives safely. Any applicable customs duties or import taxes for buyers outside the shipping region are the responsibility of the buyer.
