Manufacturing of Waltham watches took place at their facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.* This piece brings together two features we rarely see paired: a private label porcelain enamel dial commissioned for CAW Crosby and Son in Boston, and a preserved two tone Waltham Grade L movement from 1895. The dial was made by Waltham specifically for this jeweler in the late 1800s and remains flawless. Flip it over and the movement is just as compelling. The alternating gilt and nickel finishings create that classic two-tone look, and the original factory blued screws are still intact. That level of period finishing is part of what inspired us to pursue and perfect traditional thermal coloring in our Little Rock, Arkansas workshop. We hand blued the regulator, arbor, and case screws to complement the original work and bring even more contrast to the two tone movement. A rare Boston commissioned dial paired with one of Walthams most visually striking finishes housed in our 40 mm stainless steel case, this one feels special the moment it hits the wrist. All work was completed in our shop in Little Rock, Arkansas 🇺🇸 (read more about us [here](https://www.littlerocksoiree.com/relics-to-riches-what-makes-frett-co-clockworks-tick/)). **Price**: $3,799, But negotiable—especially to someone with an interest getting into vintage American watchmaking. **Case**: 316L stainless (surgical grade 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 movement hardware 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 2025 and comes with a 1-year service warranty. The watch was inspected and cleaned. The watch was re-assembled and oiled using high-grade synthetic Swiss oil (Moebius). Time keeping will vary depending on position. **About us**: We are a small batch, custom watch restoration company located in Central Arkansas USA.
