Complete gift package of a top quality antique watch, a trombone link Albert chain with bloodstone spinner and a fitted watch case.
50mm (5cm) across case without crown. Size 16s.
A very nice gold filled full hunter. The case is a Dennison MOON 20 year guaranteed (from date of manufacture) each part is made from 2 plates of gold with a plate of composition between them, vastly superior to electroplating which only deposits a very thin layer of gold. Nice case, has some minor bumps and pin point dings (mainly to rear cover) and a small cut on the outer edge of front cover, nothing too bad and does not detract from the overall beauty of the piece.
The case is clean and bright throughout, all hinges are good, all covers open and close well. Front cover pops open with a depression of the crown, as it should. Front cover opens slightly past the 90 degrees and rear covers open to 90 degrees.
The dial is bright and clean, no hairline cracks or chips. Signed "Waltham USA". Roman Numerals, blued steel hands.
The movement is a Waltham P.S. Bartlett 17 Jewel model 1908, damascened, gold adjuster star, running well and keeps good time.
Mineral glass crystal great condition.
Complete with a double 18k gold plated trombone link Albert chain with Bloodstone spinner, with a small case opener knife at one end. The chain, spinner and knife are modern reproductions.
Presented in a fitted pocket watch box with recess for the chain.
Perfectly usable as an everyday watch.
Great for wedding, graduation, retirement, Christmas, Fathers day or birthday present.
Recently Fully Serviced, including modern alloy "unbreakable" mainspring.
Serviced.
Servicing is defined as the piece being disassembled, cleaned, inspected and adjusted if necessary. It is then re-assembled and correctly oiled, timed for accuracy and adjusted if required. The mainspring will be replaced with a modern alloy type and the piece will be bench-tested for at least one day.
Statement.
I restore all of my watches to a fully working condition. It is my aim to provide a watch that is not only running but working to a usable state. My watches can be worn and used for their intended purpose on a daily basis. The time keeping should certainly be within +- 5 minutes per 24 hours but I aim for +-3 or better. I do offer guarantees, the details of which can be found on my website for Time Pocket Watches. I have many years experience and a vast catalogue of Waltham spares and parts.
Photography.
My highly detailed photographs show the watch in detail, this level of detail is not normally seen by the naked eye. The watch will look even better in real life.
