About the Item
The antique Waltham pocket watch, paired with its chain and fob, is a remarkable example of late 19th-century American craftsmanship. Constructed in 14K rose gold, this timepiece combines functionality with the exquisite artistry of the Victorian era, reflecting the refined tastes of its circa 1890 origin. The rose gold lends the watch a warm, rosy hue that enhances its luxurious appeal and aligns with the opulent jewelry trends of the time.
One of the most striking elements of this watch is the design of the heraldic crest, which is rendered in a shield form on its exterior. This detail adds a bold decorative element, enhancing the aesthetic with clean and defined details that evoke the classic, timeless appeal of heraldry. Accompanying this design is the intricate floral chased detailing, which has been carefully hand-applied by a skilled artisan. These elegant, nature-inspired patterns are quintessentially Victorian and reflect the era’s appreciation for fine craftsmanship and ornamental flourishes.
The watch is accompanied by its original chain and fob, thoughtful design elements that not only add to its appeal but also demonstrate the merging of style and practicality during this period. The fob, in particular, enhances the ease of use for the timepiece while providing another layer of visual interest.
Manufactured by the Waltham Watch Company, a leader in 19th-century precision watchmaking in America, this pocket watch is both an exceptional artifact and a functioning piece of history. Renowned for their meticulous engineering and quality, Waltham watches were highly coveted during this era. This particular example, with its exquisite rose gold construction, shield-form crest, and detailed chasing, represents the epitome of Victorian design and luxury.
Timeless and finely crafted, this Waltham pocket watch stands as both a collectible treasure and a stunning reminder of an age defined by elegance and sophistication. It is a piece that seamlessly blends beauty, history, and technical precision. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
