A reliable and affordable piece of American watchmaking from the Roaring 20's era, this Waltham pocket watch features a 17-jewel movement. What makes this timepiece highly sought after and desirable is the "Seco-meter" dial. Instead of a seconds hand that was used on nearly every other watch made, this one has a subdial that rotates to indicate the seconds. This hard-to-find example shows very well, with minimal signs of use, especially for a watch that is nearly a century old!
