Watch Description

What makes the Boston 447 unique: Today, we're excited to showcase this stunning watch originally manufactured by the American Waltham Watch Company over a century ago — the Boston 447. The timepiece features an elegant dial with dark-gold-colored numerals atop its light-cream background, and the dial also boasts aqua diamond kite hands that glimmer vividly. We encased the original pocket watch within our stylish and scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case and equipped it with a gold-plated crown. The back of the watch features a breathtaking 225-grade open-face movement with a Breguet hairspring and patent regulator. You can also view the watch's robust and luxurious gold-plated gears powered by 17 eye-catching screw-set jewels. Finally, we matched the watch with our hand-crafted Moss leather watch strap, complementing the timepiece's dial. The American Waltham Watch Company initially produced the Boston 447's remarkable pocket watch in Waltham, Massachusetts, 1908 — the same year that President Theodore Roosevelt held the Conference of Governors in the White House. The conference emphasized the importance of conservation efforts and included notable speakers such as James J. Hill and Andrew Carnegie. The event was also the start of the annual governors' conferences in the United States.

Movement Manufacturer Information

The movement inside of this watch was made by Waltham Watch Company. We call this model "The Boston" because of the company's proximity to the city.

Also known as American Watch Company and American Waltham Watch Company, Waltham was one of the leaders in attempting an entirely new concept, machines making machines. Prior to this, a watchmaker would hand-make each part of a movement one-at-a-time. Operating from 1851-1957, Waltham called its product the "Scientific Watch." Waltham's innovative, precise machining techniques made parts interchangeable, and their early version of the assembly line made high-quality watches efficient to produce. Legend has it that Henry Ford drew inspiration for his assembly line production from a visit to Waltham's factory. Located on the bank of the Charles River in "Watch City" (Waltham), Massachusetts, the factory has since been converted to apartment lofts.
