One of the earliest examples of a pocket watch produced by the American Waltham Pocket Watch Company. This is an early Model 57. The 15 jewel, P.S. Bartlett movement on this watch is complete and in excellent condition.
This watch was actually produced by the Appleton, Tracy and Company, a predecessor of the Waltham Watch Company, and the dial is signed as such. The Appleton, Tracy and Company merged with the Waltham Improvement Company to become the American Waltham Watch Company shortly after this watch was produced.
The Waltham Watch Company produced over thirty-three million watches over their one-hundred year lifespan. These watches are some of the most sought-after collectible, antique watches.
