Description

1904 Waltham P S Bartlett pocket watch.

The watch has a quality P S Bartlett grade 17 jewel adjusted stem-winding movement which is working nicely. As well as being fully signed, the movement has the serial number 14163328which dates it back to 1904. Beautifully patterned nickel finish movement, Church 1892 patent regulator and Breguet hairspring. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover, there is a little surface marking where the back has been opened in the past.

The Bartlett grade was named after Patten Sargeant Bartlett who was one of the early employees of the Boston Watch Company which went on to become the Waltham Watch Company. He subsequently left Waltham to work for the National Watch Company at Elgin Illinois but eventually returned to Waltham to work as a salesman before opening his own wholesale business.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the star model made by the Dennison Watch Case Co. The case has light surface marking and light wear to the bottom of the back but overall it is in nice condition for a 1904 piece.
