Specifications
Brand: Waltham
Important Note for Bidders
As this is a classic vintage timepiece from the 1928 era, we kindly invite you to place your bids with the intention of adding a beautiful piece to your antique collection, or with the premise of a professional overhaul/routine service for daily functional use.
Type: Pocket Watch (Open Face)
Movement: Manual winding, 15 Jewels, beautifully engraved plates (damaskeening pattern)
Movement Serial Number: 26433473 (Dating the production to approximately 1928)
Case Diameter: 46.0 mm
Dial: Crisp white dial with 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. The blued steel hands are in excellent condition and retain their brilliant blue hue.
Movement & Functionality: The 15-jewel manual movement is clean and features gorgeous ornamental damaskeening texturing on the bridges. The watch ticks nicely when wound; however, please kindly understand that daily time accuracy and power reserve cannot be guaranteed. The winding crown feels loose when handling, but it remains functional for both winding the watch and setting/adjusting the time.
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.
