Waterbury Watch Co pocket watch with original box
An antique ‘The Trump’ Series I pocket watch by the Waterbury Watch Company, with original box.
Westbury Watch Company was set up in 1880 with a capital of $400,000. They went from strength to strength and invested half a million in a new factory which was designed by the same architect who carried out work for Waltham and Elgin.
For the first eight years, the company manufactured only long-winds, but these watches attracted the wrong kind of attention and were the subject of many jokes because they needed so much winding. From 1888, they concentrated more on short wind watches. They contained more parts then the long-winds, but still significantly less than most watches, and all of them were capable of excellent time keeping. All Waterbury short winds used the duplex escapement.
Like most watch companies, Waterbury also occasionally experimented with products unrelated to horology. The most noteworthy example is a 10,000-mile bicycle cyclometer released in 1890. Named "The Trump", it accompanied the "Series I" watch of the same name. When purchased to accompany the cyclometer, the watch came with a special stand to clamp it to a bicycle frame.
The fully signed movement in this particular watch is working nicely.
The watch itself measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The nickel case has the odd mark but overall is in good condition.
The watch glass is in good order.
The white enamel dial is signed with the Waterbury Watch Co name. There are several hairline cracks radiating from the centre. The hands are initially set by pushing the crown in and turning the hands clockwise.
The watch comes in its original cardboard box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
