My "new" old toy... 18 size Waltham Pocket Watch

Love that watch! Every time I have found something that nice to buy for my Husband, on eBay, either someone else out bids me, or at the time of the sale, I am short the funds to buy it! Your watch is super nice, clean looking!

Sweet, Fabio! Great find, in super condition. I live about 30 minutes from Waltham.

Charlie, have you visited the museum in the old Waltham Watch Factory? I used to attend Mass Innovation Nights there and it is a very cool place.

Great looking Watch, how about a photo of the movement ? They can be a very nice piece of art in theselves.

It's now on the short list, David. Thank you!

Gorgeous! I received a Waltham watch built in 1904 for my high school graduation present. It still runs well, and one of my most prized watches.

Mine works fine too.

Very nice Fábio Venhorst! Looks to be from 1904 by that serial number; ticking away the hours for 112 years and still like new!

Indeed, I've researched the serial number before and got the same year.

That is stunning! A great find.

I go to school one town away from Waltham. Where exactly is the museum? I've never seen any signs for it nor anything on google maps.

I just stumbled upon this thread, late as usual. That's a great looking, well preserved watch! Walthams were first tier pocket watches, my watchmaker tells me that any jewelled Waltham is worth restoring from an horological perspective. And the large 18 size models housed in substantial vintage cases can still nicely complement pretty well any look.
