This is a remarkable vintage watch which is entirely original and at 125 years old is actually a dependable as well.
Waltham was one of America's top watch factories and are credited with frightening the Swiss into altering their production methods in the late 1880's. The Swiss came to an exhibition in America and visited the Waltham factory. They asked to purchase a few of Waltham's higher grade movements. The executives offered to adjust them before they took them. The Swiss said, "No need to do that" and left. They were astounded to learn that they were keeping nearly perfect time. This inspired the Swiss to update their technology.
The watch has a flawless enamel dial and original blued steel hands an original crown as well. We never see watches this old in this superb condition. You can wear this all the time and count of it to get you there on time as well. It comes with an extra strap as well so you change it out.
