Description: Fresh from the estate of a retired Swiss-trained watchmaker, a genuine American-Made Waltham 18S Grade 85 Pocket Watch Movement. When this movement was produced in 1908, this 17-jewel model would have been a super high-grade movement. While 17 Jewels is standard for a non--automatic watch today, in 1908, it was normal to see 1 or 3 jewels in "regular" grade watches. Thus a 17-jewel was a super-premium movement. The watchmaker's notes indicate he purchased this watch in Jan of 2014 for $420 cash with a 14K gold case which he subsequently scrapped (very sad). The watchmaker's notes - which are typically quite specific - do not mention how much the case brought in from his smelter. The watch has a good, free-swinging balance and looks to be in rather nice condition, but we are unable to test it further.
