Pocket Watch: Antique Waltham Riverside Pocket Watch 1902

The watch has a good quality 17-jewel stem-winding movement, Riverside grade, which is working nicely. This is a good quality movement with a Church 1892 patent regulator, screw-set jewels and Breguet hairspring for enhanced precision. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 12,087,901 dates it back to 1902. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 10kt gold filled and it is nicely decorated around the edge of the case back and bezel. There are some initials to the back of the watch but these have worn down with time. The case has a fairly minor indentation to the back but otherwise is in good condition. The glass lens has a couple of minor marks, nothing too noticeable at all. The signed dial looks good to the naked eye. Through a magnifying loupe, there is a short very faint hairline on number 8. Blued steel hands (one is a period replacement), a sunken subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage.
