American exceptionalism in an 1897 pocket watch!

Today we have a stunning old Waltham pocket watch on the bench, an 1897 "Seaside" model. This beauty most likely was a ladies watch given its moderate size, and after making it run I plan to give it to a very special young lady...
Join me for a full service of this fabulous timepiece as we talk about the history of Waltham and its visionary founder Aaron Dennison. And yes, we'll take a couple of detours into how dentures played a part in watchmaking and the frequency of underwear changes!
