c. 1901 Antique USA Waltham Pocket Watch PS Bartlett Gold Filled Open Face Runs Well

This is a high-grade pocket watch, "P.S. Bartlett," produced by the prestigious American company Waltham in 1901.

The back of the ornate gold-filled case features elegant, hand-engraved monogramming, casting sophisticated shadows. Beautiful hands and Arabic numerals stand out against the clear white porcelain dial, and when the back cover is opened, a precise movement, still powerfully ticking away the time, gleams within.

While its overhaul history is unknown, the balance wheel swings well, and it runs energetically with a clear tick-tock sound.
