Waltham Crescent St. Pocket Watch

The Cresent St. movement for Waltham was one of their higher end offerings; the state-state-of-the-art movement boasts 21 jewels and adjustemtn to five positions. This is to say that the movement had more saphires on the bearings of major moving parts and was tested for accuracy in five different gyroscopic positions. These featured made for a watch capable of extreme accuracy and were approved for use by the railroads where time keeping was essential. This particular example comes in an incredibly well preserved gold-filled case, sporting initials on the reverse, a stepped porcelain dial, blued steel hands, and an uncommon wind indicator function at 12 o'clock. This piece would be well suited for a collector, an enthusiast who wants something off the beated path, or would make a great desk clock in a pocketwatch dome.
