Antique/Vintage Waltham pocket watch. Case is stamped “Illinois Watch Case Co, Elgin Tivoli Gold Filled 14k Guaranteed”. Watch case is 48mm wide. Watch physical condition is beautiful for its age. It’s over 100 years old so it is not perfect but there are no dents or dings, just normal scratching in the case as should be expected with age. The watch crystal appears to be an amber colored acrylic and it easily pops off, if you plan on refurbishing the watch it would need to be replaced or glued down. The bow at the crown is missing. Watch operational condition is unknown. The watch does wind up, the gear train appears to be intact but appears maybe one of the jewels needs attention but I cannot confirm. I also cannot adjust the time. The balance wheel appears to be fine with no wobble that I can I see and it does spin but stops so it appears it has overbanked. I know the terms, but do not repair these items. If I go have this work done I will be asking much more. If you have questions or need additional photos, please let me know.

THIS IS A BIG SWISS POCKET WATCH! THIS TIMEPIECE AS A WATCH COULD BE WORN IF YOU CAN TOLERATE THE WEIGHT AND SIZE BUT IT’S INTENT IS AS A DESK POCKET WATCH. IT IS A MYSTERY TO ME WHO ACTUALLY MANUFACTURES ROBERT GENEVE WATCHES, I HAVE SPENT A FEW HOURS TRYING TO GET MORE INFORMATION FROM BOOKS AND THE WEB…. I HAVE NOT TURNED UP MUCH. THIS WATCH IS RUNNING, BUT THE BALANCE WHEEL WILL NOT START THE PROCESS OF RUNNING WITHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT, I JUST GIVE A LITTLE PUFF OF DUST OFF OR BLOW ON THE BALANCE WHEEL AND THE WATCH GOES OFF AND RUNNING UNTIL THE ENERGY FROM THE WINDING SPRING EXPIRES. IT LIKELY NEEDS A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TO START ON IT’S OWN. THE TIME KEEPING NEEDS ADJUSTMENT AND IS NOT WHOLLY ACCURATE. THE MOVEMENT CASE IS JUST PLAIN BEAUTIFUL, HAS A NICELY CARVED DEPICTION OF A HORSE AND FOAL IN A FIELD. THE DISPLAY CASE IS MADE OF WOOD WITH A VELVET LINER AND LOOKS BLUE OR PURPLE DEPENDING ON THE LIGHTING.
