The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Antique Waltham Duchess pocket watch, 1904.

The watch has a Duchess grade movement which is working nicely. The Duchess was manufactured in low numbers nice quality movement with 15-jewels, Breguet hairspring and screw set jewels. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 13,507,096 which dates it back to 1904. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a scratch where a tool must have slipped.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company. There is some rubbing around the edge of the back.

The watch has an acrylic lens, light marking but nothing too noticeable to the naked eye.

The signed dial looks good to the naked eye… there is a very faint short hairline at 11 but it is difficult to see.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
