American Waltham Watch Co. was in operation from 1852-1957 and was an American pocket watch manufacturer. Manufacturing of Waltham watches took place at their facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.
At first glance, this piece looks contemporary with a high-end porcelain-enamel dial—but it’s not. This is a 6s Waltham pocket watch from 1902, freshly converted in our shop in Little Rock, Arkansas (read more about us here). The piece is powered by the Seaside grade, and if you look closely, you’ll spot a subtle blue hue around the outer edge of the dial that’s different from the white center. We like to think that was Waltham’s quiet nod to the blue tones of the Boston seaside, a favorite escape in the early 1900s. When we convert these highly historic pieces, we make wristwatches—not arm clocks. This piece lets you enjoy the best of American watchmaking without compromise.
Price: $3,349, But negotiable—especially to someone with an interest getting into vintage American watchmaking.
Case: 316L stainless (surgical grade steel), 40 mm diameter, 48 mm lug to lug, 13 mm height, sapphire crystals AR coated, front crystal domed, and 50 meters water resistance. Recommend to remove before water activities. Read more about our 40 mm case here.
Thermal Coloring: To enhance both corrosion resistance and visual appeal, the movement hardware was thermally colored to plum using a traditional technique employed by early 20th-century watchmakers: open-flame bluing (read more here).
Shipping: UPS 2nd Day Air free in the USA. International shipping via DHL Express (~$100), which takes approximately one week from date of shipment.
Payment Method: PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, Wise, Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and All Major Credit Cards
Service History: The watch was serviced in 2025 and comes with a 1-year service warranty. The watch was inspected and cleaned. The watch was re-assembled and oiled using high-grade Swiss oil. Time keeping will vary depending on position.
