Title: Wonderful Large Sterling Silver Porcelain Dial Waltham, Ca. 1904
Description: VERYGOOD condition. Extra nice large silver wire lug from the early part of the 20th century. Called a Lady Waltham and marked on the movement this high grade pocket watch movement was converted in the teens probably to a wristwatch. Considered originals and having a superb unmarred porcelain dial. The hands are original too and have had new lum inserted by our watchmaker. The Arabic numerals also would have had luminescent material in them back in the day. Most of these early wire lug watches had less expensive movements. This gorgeous 17j Lady Waltham has solid gold raised jewel settings, a solid gold center wheel, large gold screw balance wheel and a fancy star regulator. It is not marked how many jewels but I can count at least 17. The balance is capped with what appears to be a diamond (clear, not red) capstone or endstone. There is an inscription on the back, Dr. Frank Thomas. The crystal is perfect and glass. Measures 33 mm wide (not including the crown) x 33 mm long x 10 mm thick. {$395} Item #5230
