This pocket watch is an excellent example of what Waltham Watch Co could make. The beauty of this watch is that the movements were interchangeable, so if you went to their shop or their agent, one could pick the case and the movement, so invariably in this instance one has a very expensive case and a cheap movement, whatever was affordable at the time. Today if one found a high grade movement, it could be exchanged with the current movement. This watch would make an excellent gift for long service in a company.
