Key winds and set, includes key.
Winds, runs, and set normally. It has not been serviced. Dial Reads "American Watch Co." Movement reads "Pat. Nov. 30 1858 P.S. Bartlett Waltham Mass 159489" (circa 1865) Shield Engraved "To Kate" Very nice black and white enamel, excellent condition. Movement measures 37.4mm across the plates. Watch case measures 43mm wide. Very nice dial, shows a tiny chip on the numeral 4. I notice a minor hairline between 6 and 7 o'clock and three small lines that run from the bottom of the sub-register to the edge of the dial around the 30 mark of the sub-register. They require 10x magnification to see.
The Waltham Improvement Co. merged in January 1859 with the Appleton, Tracy & Co. forming the American Watch Co. (AWCo). In 1860, as President Abraham Lincoln was elected, the country was in Civil War. Production ground to a halt. However, the company decided to downsize to the lowest possible level to keep the factory open. It worked: Upon his Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln became the proud owner of a Waltham watch: Model 1857, grade "Wm. Ellery", serial number no 67613. A.W.Co. made unusual 14 size watch with "Push button" at 1 o'clock position to set the time. Serial No.2875426 Name: Bond St.Waltham became the main supplier of Railroad chronometers to the various railroads in North America and in as many as 52 other countries of the world. In 1876, Waltham disclosed the first automatic screw making machinery and obtained the first Gold Medal in a watch precision contest at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Not only the American Horology but also the world owes much to the early members of the Waltham Watch entity, such as Bacon, Church, Dennison, Fogg, H. Marsh, Webster and Woerd for their technical inventions and developments. In 1885, after 26 years, the company name changed to American Waltham Watch Co. (AWWCo) where it was to remain for the next 22 years.
