About this item
This watch comes in a glass backed case. Going back a 100 years ago, salesmen from the watch companies would visit shops to show the latest models and rather house them in cases, where the back would have to be removed, they used these cases which had a snap on back with a glass back so the dial and movement were visible. Shops and prospective owners, would select the dial, movement and then the case they wanted for their watch.
This is a model 1892 Waltham which had a production run of 500.
Movement – the nickel full plate 1892 movement has a recessed balance and a lever escapement with a micrometer regulator. The movement has raised gold jewel settings, is decorated with damascening and is signed “Appleton Tracy & Co, Waltham, Mass, 17 Jewels, Adjusted” # 15004257. The movement is in 95% mint condition
Case – the movement comes in a metal open face display case, which has a snap on back and front bezel with glass covers front and back. The case has smooth plain finish and is in 95% mint condition
