What makes the Boston 453 unique: Today, we’re excited to present this remarkable piece originally manufactured by the American Waltham Watch Company in 1899 — the Boston 453. The watch boasts a splendid dial with black numerals that look stunning against its pristine white background. The dial also features a subtle yet elegant center design and blue fine spade watch hands. We complemented the antique pocket watch’s breathtaking design by matching it with our Machined Titanium case and gold-plated crown. Our case features a transparent back, revealing the watch’s Riverside-grade open-face movement with a patent regulator and Breguet hairspring. The back of the watch also features a stylish “Riverside” engraving corroborating its historicity. Finally, the pocket watch boasts robust bronze-plated gears powered by 19 sumptuous jewels. To tie the piece together, we paired it with our artisan-crafted Rye leather watch strap, making this one-of-a-kind watch even more exceptional. The American Waltham Watch Company initially produced this timepiece in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1899 — the same year the United States established the Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state. President William McKinley signed a bill creating the national park on March 2, 1899, making it America’s fifth national park. The park features 236,381 acres and the Mount Rainier stratovolcano, America’s largest mainland volcano.
