Waltham Gimballed Chronometer Watch with Box, 21J, WWI
Waltham Gimballed Chronometer Watch ca WWI. This mounted chronometer watch was made by Waltham primarily for military use. The movement serial number, 19126952, dates to about 1913. The movement is a grade 845, which is 18 size, 21 jewel, lever set, adjusted 5 positions, and was railroad grade.
The movement is in excellent condition. The dial is painted metal and nice if a bit dark as per the image. I prefer that old items look old. The mahogany box is original and has two covers, the upper which opens to allow the time to be observed through a glass plate, and a lower cover that opens to access the movement, primarily to allow winding.
The box finish is better than normal with only light wear and marking. The box measures about 5 on each side. This watch runs and keeps reasonable time: within 5 minutes or LESS per day. I do not know the history of this watch, so it may need to be serviced.Sorry, this is NOT a "Make Offer" listing. I will not consider or reply to any offers.
