Antique Victorian Waltham 13 Jewel Model 1888 Sterling Silver Pocket Watch

  

5cm (50mm) across the case. Waltham model 1888 dating to c1892, 131 years old.

Housed in a case by A. B (Alfred Bedford - manager of the Waltham Watch Co, Holborn Circus, London) sterling silver fully hallmarked case, Birmingham 1893. Snap on front and hinged rear covers, no dings or dents, some minor signs of wear. Mineral glass crystal in good condition. Dial in good condition, no cracks or chips.

Blued steel hands, Roman Numerals. The 1888 13 jewel movement is in fantastic condition, running well and keeping good time. Presented in a velvet presentation pocket watch box. Great for wedding, graduation, retirement, Christmas, Fathers day or birthday present.

Serviced including modern "unbreakable" alloy mainspring. Servicing is defined as the piece being disassembled, cleaned, inspected and adjusted if necessary. It is then re-assembled and correctly oiled, timed for accuracy and adjusted if required.

The mainspring will be replaced and the piece will be bench-tested for at least one day. I restore all of my watches to a fully working condition. It is my aim to provide a watch that is not only running but working to a usable state. My watches can be worn and used for their intended purpose on a daily basis. The time keeping should certainly be within +- 5 minutes per 24 hours but I aim for +-3 or better.

I do offer guarantees, the details of which can be found on my website for Time Pocket Watches. I have many years experience and a vast catalogue of Waltham spares and parts.

My highly detailed photographs show the watch in detail, this level of detail is not normally seen by the naked eye. The watch will look even better in real life.
