Pocket Watch: 1914 Waltham Equity Pocket Watch

The watch has a 15 jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. This is a nice quality movement with a gilt finish and gilded highlights. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 19,861,652 which dates it back to 1914, and confirms that it is Equity grade. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some light surface scratching. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and was made by the Equity Watch Company of Boston. The case is nicely patterned on the back and it is in good condition with just the odd minor mark, nothing serious at all. The glass lens is in good condition (some white reflection showing in the photos). The signed dial is has original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute dial picked out in red. There are a couple of faint hairlines to the dial but difficult to see with the naked eye. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
