Guaranteed to be as described and satisfaction guaranteed, this is a very nice Waltham Royal grade, model of 1891, size 0, 16 jewel pocket watch movement made c. 1895-1902 with and ultra rare and beautiful POLYCHROME dial, which has been cased in a new custom fit 36mm stainless steel wrist watch case. Only 6165 of the higher Royal grade movements were made in this model. Men made the switch from pocket watches to wrist watches after the first World War because they found it to be problematic to be fumbling around in their pockets to check the time with gloves on, in a trench and taking fire. Many pocket watches were converted to wrist watches in the trenches by simply soldering wire lugs on to attach them to the wrist with a strap. From the mid 1800’s through the early 1900’s the USA made the best and most beautiful watches in the world. The Swiss actually made some “Swiss fakes” of American models. This one is extra special, with it’s fired glass enamel dial and gold Louis XVI hands this watch calls back to that time and reminds you of that every time you check your wrist. Turning the watch over an extra large observation window has been cut into the case back to observe the century and a quarter old movement. This watch is BEAUTIFUL. This watch will come with our sales receipt and our Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The idea of putting pocket watch movements from the heyday of American watchmaking into modern cases is not new. We feel that the wrong movements have been used in the past however. The conversions that watchmakers have been making have been taking the beautiful and highly accurate Railroad grade watches and casing them in custom wrist watch style cases. These are 16 or 18 size movements resulting in a ridiculously large 48mm to 56mm watches. Many require you to remove the bezel ring to get to the time setting lever. We decided that we wanted a modern sized 36mm watch (about the size of the traditional Rolex Datejust) that can be wound and set like a traditional wrist watch and be water resistant. The perfect movements for this task turned out to be the “work horse” size 0 movements made Waltham from the turn of the 20th century (this one is a higher grade 16 jewel version). The result is a 36mm in diameter (excluding the winding crown), 43.6mm tall (from lug tip) and 11mm thick watch which we think is perfectly sized. It is big enough to be masculine, but small enough not to make you look like a kid wearing dad’s watch. To build these beautiful watches we customize a brand new 316L stainless steel watch case to fit the pocket watch movement and make it work with the pocket watch style stem and winding crown arrangement. We add a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. We also cut the full movement sized observation window in the case back and install a sapphire crystal there also. We source a vintage movement that has had it’s case previously scrapped for it’s precious metals which has never been the victim of a less than qualified watchmaker and disassemble it completely. We do not cannibalize complete pocket watches to build these watches. Any worn parts are replaced, all steel components are hand polished, gold jewel settings are polished, and the screws and the regulator are polished. It is cleaned and reassembled with modern synthetic oils leaving the movement possibly working better than when new. The result is a literal piece of history that is beautiful and functional for a fraction of the price of the watches that the modern fine watch brands are replicating with their “homage” pieces and selling for thousands of dollars. I challenge you to find a new watch with an enamel dial that sells for less than several thousand dollars. The pictures have been taken from every angle and represent the watch well, in fact they are 3x magnified, the dial is beautiful, and the watch is polished to a perfect shine. Any imperfections you see in the shine are just reflections the camera caught. The movement has been thoroughly serviced on 04/30/2023. Shown here on a 6.75 inch wrist. The band is a brand new 20mm quality “distressed” brown Strapsco brand leather strap with quick change bars (band can be changed with no tools and in under a minute). We will swap the brown band for a black band free of charge upon request. The original Polychrome enamel glass fired dial shows no hairlines or chips and is nearly perfect to the naked eye. It has never been refinished, painted or molested. This is a beautiful example of this model. All of my watches come with a 30 day satisfaction and mechanical guarantee, sales receipt, and our Certificate Of Authenticity so bid with confidence. The buyer has the option to purchase an extended one year mechanical guarantee for an additional $99. This watch is a BEAUTIFUL and RUGGED watch that you can pick up at a reasonable price and enjoy wearing it every day, wear it to work, for golfing, playing tennis, or out to dinner.
