Manufacturing of Waltham watches took place at their facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.* This is a truly special multichromatic porcelain-enamel dial from 1900. The dial, unbelievably, is flawless porcelain-enamel with vivid blue numerals framed by intricate golden motifs throughout. It is elegant, expressive, and unmistakably American. Paired with original factory Louis XIV golden hands, the contrast and legibility are exceptional. Behind it is a 15 jewel Seaside grade from the Waltham Watch Company, produced between 1896 and 1912. The movement features an exposed mainspring barrel and richly patterned damaskeening. Every component was restored in our Little Rock, Arkansas workshop. Screws and steel hardware were thermally blued by hand over an alcohol lamp, while the jewel settings, gear train, balance, and balance weights were individually hand polished to bring back their original golden glow. The watch is housed in our 40 mm surgical grade 316L stainless steel conversion case. This case was purposely designed to be one of the most comfortable fitting conversions in the world. Our goal is simple: make vintage American watchmaking wearable for modern day watch enthusiasts. It includes crown and caseback gaskets and is water resistant to 50 m. Fully serviced, thoughtfully designed, and built to pull new collectors into the vintage American game without compromise (read more about us [here](https://www.littlerocksoiree.com/relics-to-riches-what-makes-frett-co-clockworks-tick/)). **Price**: $3,749, But negotiable—especially to someone with an interest getting into vintage American watchmaking. **Case**: 316L stainless (surgical steel), 40 mm diameter, 48 mm lug to lug, 13 mm height, sapphire crystals AR coated, front crystal domed, and 50 meters water resistance. Recommend to remove before water activities. Read more about our 40 mm case [here](https://www.frettclockworks.com/blog/introducing-our-40-mm-pocket-watch-conversion-case). **Thermal Coloring**: To enhance both corrosion resistance and visual appeal, the barrel arbor was thermally colored using a traditional technique employed by early 20th-century watchmakers: open-flame bluing (read more [here](https://www.frettclockworks.com/blog/the-art-and-science-of-thermal-coloring-for-pocket-watch-conversions)). **Shipping**: UPS 2nd Day Air free in the USA. International shipping via DHL Express (\~$100), which takes approximately one week from date of shipment. **Payment Method**: PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay, CashApp, Wise, Afterpay, Affirm, Klarna, and All Major Credit Cards **Service History**: The watch was serviced in 2026 and comes with a 1-year service warranty.
