Weight: 117.4gWhile we are not watch experts, we think we have enough experience to accurately describe this watch. It is a 14 size American Waltham open face split second chronograph. There are TWO split second hands!The stem at 12 o'clock controls the start, stop and flyback of the first split second hand. The second split second hand is controlled by a side button at 11 o'clock. All buttons and functions work smoothly. The only minor problem is that the two split second hands may be hitting each other as they rotate. We made no attempt to fix this and leave it to the professionals. The porcelain dial is free of chips or cracks. The dial is signed Waltham. There is a sixty second register inset at 3 o'clock.The serial number on the movement is 3,793,287, indicating it was made about 1887, but it could have been as last as early 1889. From reading a seminar paper from 2002 about Waltham chronographs, the serial number range was for "a limited number of very high-grade and well finished chronographs based of the patents of Charles Meylan". "American Waltham Watch Co." is engraved on a bridge above the top plate. The movement is damascened nickel. It also says "PAT: 1880/1888" on a bridge.The heavy 14K gold case was made by Dubois Watch Case Company as indicated by the four "D"s trademark. The case is engine turned design and in spectacular condition. The glass crystal appears to be original and has very minor handling marks. The watch appears to wind smoothly and runs well. All the lids are tight and snap shut as if the watch was little used. Overall the condition of the watch is a nine out of ten.FREE SHIPPING IN USADOMESTIC SHIPPING POLICY (UPDATED 03/13/2014)
