2 gold Waltham Watches size 0 c1906

You are viewing 2 simple designed gold waltham pocket watches size 0. They were made in 1906.

i am not sure of the movement but on the inside it is inscribed American Waltham watch company.



I believe them to be gold but as this is not one of my listings i am unsure.

The date via the serial numbers puts both of them made around 1906.

The first serial number is 14292618 and the second is 14508903.

These are quite plain in design and have black enamelled dials.

They come with a gold pocket watch chain.

I value these at £70-£100.

I have other examples of walthams all with dates under the Waltham label at the end of this post. Also i have posted a complete list of serial numbers so you can date any waltham watches you may have.

Gold American Waltham Watch Company pocket watch 1897

Here is an extremely rare antique 18K gold American Waltham Watch Company pocket watch that was made around 1897.

This is not part of my EBay items but i wanted to show you the highest quality Waltham American Watch Company has to offer.

This pocket watch is the highest grade pocket watch that was available from the American Waltham Watch Company and is a very respectable item to have in any collection.

The watch is an American Grade (AWCO) Model 1888 and has 19 Jewels.

It is very rare for a piece of this quality to come up for auction often, so i suggest if it is still on sale on EBay buy it.

It is a mens 16 size watch that is 52mm’s in diameter and is housed in its it is housed in its original 18k Hallmarked English solid gold demi hunter enamelled case.

The dust cover is also engraved with the name of the original retailer which is Henry.W.Bedford. 67 Regent Street, London

The movement: American Grade (American Watch Co, AWCO) and is a model 1888 with 19 Jewels. The watch has the correct cap jewels on the forth pinion to make it 19 Jewels and an uncapped pallet pinion so it is not a 21 Jewel.

This AWCO grade of movement was the highest grade made by Waltham and was only made in limited numbers and was very expensive to purchase.

The American grade model 1888 production runs had a mix of 17 Jewel, 19 Jewel and 21 Jewel movements throughout the set production runs which makes it near impossible to know exact production number however estimates seem to be around the 400 made in total for the 19 Jewel Hunter in the American Grade.

The serial number on the movement is 6500774

This piece dates from 1897

As with all Waltham watch company time pieces, to get a rough date (if not engraved somewhere) use the serial numbers, the lower the older it is.

I will post the exact way to date them when i get the chance.
This really is a spectacular time piece, which can be seen just by the pictures.

Valuation estimate £600-£800

Using Serial numbers American Waltham watches to date them.

Accurately dating Waltham Watch companies watches isn't an exact science but the best way is from the serial numbers. The serial number corresponds to the approximate date the movements were made. Don't go by the hall marks as invariably only the movements were made in the factory and may have been made at a different date.

So there is a guide to the date of your watches, remember the lower the serial number generally the older it is and the more highly sought after too. Although such things as design, quality and condition maybe a factor.

1904 Gold Waltham Watch company Hunters watch.

Here is a...........

1904 American Waltham watch company Hunters Pocket watch

American Waltham Watch Company, also commonly referred to as the "Waltham Watch Company," was the first watch company to mass produce watches in America and is generally considered to be the most important American watch companyIn 1859 the Appleton, Tracy & Co. merged with another company called the Waltham Improvement Company, and "The American Watch Company" was born. Soon after that, the company name was changed to "The American Waltham Watch Company," and in later years the watches simply bore the name "Waltham

This Hunters watch was made in 1904, it is in good working order and has a very plain design. The casing has some minor scratching and one very minor dent. The movement however appears to look like it is working fine.

It looks gold or gold plated but is not stamped.

Judging by its lack of design it is of fairly low grade compared to some i have seen sell. I am no expert on watches so i can tell you little more than this.


If you have a Waltham watch that you would like dated or need more information check under the waltham tag in this post as i have put up a table using serial numbers which will help.
