1920 Gold Plated POCKET WATCH American Waltham Watch Co. MODEL 1908 Size 16 with 7 Jewels in WORKING ORDER!

Item Details

Gold plated pocket watch from the American Waltham Watch Co. with a case from the Illinois Watch Case Co., manufactured in 1920. The open face watch has a 10 karat gold plated case with the initial P engraved on the back. It is marked Supreme inside the back, and there are numbers there scratched in by watchmakers who have repaired it. The watch is from the American Waltham Watch Co. and has the serial number inside at the edge of the movement—23851495. The watch face has WALTHAM below the 12, and there’s seconds hand at bottom. Note the decorative gold border circling within the numbers. The movement also has some nice decorative engraving. I really know little about pocket watches, but there are a few very helpful websites on the internet. According to pages on the Pocket Watch Database website, this is a Model 1908 pocket watch, size 16 with 7 jewels, made in 1920. The case is 10 karat gold plate with a 10 year warranty. The pocket watch is in very good condition with minimal wear. The back seems to have some minor scuffing—I have not cleaned it. The factor that convinced me to buy this watch at a Mystic CT estate sale was that it was in running condition. After a few weeks of careful handling and daily winding, I’ve found this watch runs very consistently. I’ve wound it enough for it run about 24 hours at a time. It seems to be about eight or ten minutes fast over the course of a day. I have not tried to adjust it. A very attractive and functional gold plated pocket watch!
