Antique Waltham Duchess pocket watch with history.

The watch has a slightly more unusual gilt 15-jewel Duchess stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 13,507,751 dates it back to around 1904. This is a good quality movement with screw-set jewels and a Breguet hairspring for enhanced precision.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a beautifully engraved inscription, ‘Presented to Arthur Calvert Waggett by his Father on his 21st birthday, 15th November 1907’.

Arthur Waggett was born in Staffordshire in 1886 and served in the British Army, rising to the position of Captain of the Labour Corps. He is later listed as Reverend Arthur Calvert Waggett. He passed away in 1959.

The case is gold filled and was made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, supplier of cases to Waltham UK. It is in lovely condition with just minor marking, nothing serious at all.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The dial has been left so that the retailer can add their details if required. It is in lovely condition, just a small hairline beneath the subsidiary seconds dial.

The watch comes with a single chain, 23cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. There is also a small seal with the wording ‘How sweet is liberty’ with a central image of a bird flying out of a cage. The wording comes from the Victorian poem The Caged Bird by Reverend William Lisle Bowles.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
