Waltham Watch Company Appleton

Waltham, 18S Appleton, Tracy & Co. "Gilt" with 15K Chain

American. This 18S Waltham Appleton, Tracy & Co. pocket watch is a fine example of 19th-century American "Railroad Style" engineering. The open-face case houses a magnificent gilt-finished movement, a hallmark of Waltham’s premium craftsmanship. The timepiece features a Montgomery dial, specifically designed for maximum safety and legibility with an individual number for every minute of the hour. This professional layout includes a prominent inner minutes track and a distinctive "marginal" outer track where the five-minute markers are finished in a vibrant red. Accompanying the watch is a 15k yellow gold chain weighing a significant 46.76 grams. The combination of the heavy gold chain and the historically significant "Appleton, Tracy & Co." grade movement makes this an elite set for collectors of railroad-era artifacts.
