American Watch Co, 18s 15J, circa 1875

Model 1857, "Waltham Watch Co"

Factory Lever Set, Stem Wind

Nickel Alloy "Dust Proof" Case

Dial: This original pinned single sunk dial is signed AMERICAN WATCH CO. This classic dial features Roman hour numerals with a minute track towards the edge. It is in good condition. The sub seconds bit has been reattached as seen in the photo. The cobalt blue spade hands are in excellent condition as well!

Movement: This gilded movement is signed WALTHAM WATCH CO, ADJUSTED. The gilding does have some spots and ancient fingerprints from someone who has handled it in the last 133 years! This high grade movement features screw down jewel settings, and an expansion balance. This well running American watch has been serviced recently, and is keeping decent time! Most of Waltham's 1857 model are key wind and key set. This is a very uncommon factory stem wound, lever set version!

Case: This case is in good working order. It is signed AWCO. This is not the original case, and it has been modified for the lever setting. There are also a few dings and light surface scratches from honest use, but this heavy duty nickel alloy case has a lot of life left. The front bezel threads on and off properly. The movement ring hinge is in fine working order as well. The bow nice and secure. The crown is well worn but still winds and sets the watch fine.

Crystal:  The thick clear glass crystal is in nearly new condition!
