Dial Details
Dial in very nice condition and features bold and scripted signature with Roman numerals and outer ring track. The minute hand has bent slightly near the tip. The dial, although in nice condition could do with a light clean to fully bring back to life. The Waltham also requires a new crystal because the old crystal is missing.

Movement specification: 7 Jewels, Gilt, Bosley regulator, unadjusted. Breguet hairspring. Grade Traveler. 1896

This Traveler was bought as a project. The movement is capable of running but does need a service and some additional attention. Upon stripping the movement the sliding pinion lever arm had a crack making it impossible to wind the timepiece because the keyless mechanism does not engage. The movement is currently in the process of being cleaned.
