Hello, And Thank You
For Taking The Time To Look At Our Listing!

Just As A Note, The Watch Is Running Fine, Keeping Good Time, And Should Provide Many More Years Of Excellent Service!!

The American (Waltham) Watch Company is better known as the Waltham Watch Company, but its very early watches used the American Watch Company name. The American Watch Company was established in 1851 and was in existance until 1957. So this watch was made 22 years after the company was established. Watches of this age and in this condition are very hard to find.
So its truly a collectors piece!

The Dial is Snowy White with Roman numerals, as you would expect on such an OLD dial!!
The Cobalt Blue hands are mint.
What a Great Looking Dial!


The covers fit together so well, that any space
between the covers is almost imperceptible!
All details are sharp & crisp!


A Full Plated & Fully Jeweled or 15 jewels back then. This movement is in excellent condition today, just as it was turned out so many years ago!!


Another angle of the movement, showing the pattern on the inside of the Dust Cover and the winding hole for winding the watch.


There is nothing quite like the feel and heft of an old Pocket Watch. This watch has been with us for 135 years, weighs a very comfortable 3 ounces (Case Only), is still ticking away very happily and is still keeping good time!

The price for this piece is $550.00


Well, that's all I can say. The Photos will tell you what you really want to know about the watch anyway, at least that's what I focus on first!

This Pocket Watch would make a very nice gift to that special someone, even if that "special someone" is you and your own collection!!
