Antique Waltham Pocket Watch – Solid Silver English Case – c. 1874 This charming American Waltham pocket watch pairs a finely made Waltham movement with a solid silver English case, creating a handsome transatlantic timepiece from the Victorian era. The movement, serial number 7948736 dates to circa 1874 and is a classic full-plate design with a beautifully engraved balance cock and “Safety Pinion” marking. It runs with the calm, steady beat you’d expect from Waltham’s early craftsmanship. The watch is housed in a hallmarked English silver case, carrying: • The lion passant (sterling silver) • The London assay mark • A date letter “a” (1876) • Maker’s mark A·B These hallmarks appear on both inner lids and on the bow. The enamel dial shows crisp Roman numerals, an outer minute track, and a sunk seconds dial at six. The hands still have their slim, elegant style. The case shows the honest patina of age but retains its clean shape and steady feel. A lovely piece for anyone who enjoys early American horology, English silverwork, or the quiet charm of Victorian pocket watches. Fully complete, visually appealing, and ready for a new caretaker.
