Waltham Chronometer
Interesting info about this watch: 1960’s, Mid-Mod Waltham, self winding (automatic) chronometer watch with date. Meaning it has been tested and certified to meet certain precision standards. “Chronometer” isn't a name that any watch brand can print on the dial of its watches. The American Waltham Watch Co was founded in 1850 and was one of the largest watchmakers of the 19th century. The economic ebbs and flows of the American economy from the Civil War to present day impacted Waltham’s viability, causing it to take on new leaders, change locations and mostly change names until finally going back to its roots, the “Waltham Watch Company.” Through all its name renditions, Waltham watches are synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. Hence, being given the “chronometer” title. After the closure of the Waltham manufacturing facilities in the early 1960’s, they moved to Swiss production and some of the best Waltham timepieces were manufactured in Switzerland. A favorite fact is that Abraham Lincoln wore the William Ellory Waltham wristwatch produced in 1863.
