Grades > Crescent St > 17 Jewel Crescent StreetWaltham makes a very limited number of 17 Jewel Crescent Streets. There are two variations, one a two tone movement which is quite unique and one in solid nickel. Two Tone 17 Jewel Crescent Street The two tone 17 Jewel Crescent Street is one of the more interesting movements that Waltham made. It was made by altering movements that were originally the Royal grade. The alteration involved milling out the word 'Royal' and inserting the words 'Crescent St.' It is impossible to even guess how many of these movements were made. They occur in some of the Royal runs listed in the Gray Book and in two runs listed as 17-21 Jewel Crescent Streets that also contain Royals. They occur in only one movement variation with the serial number next to the barrel bridge and 2 barrel bridge screws. The tables below list all of the Royal runs listed in the Gray Book, the two 17-21 Jewel Crescent Street runs and the movements reported from each run.

Waltham watch serial numbers. Waltham watches are highly collectible and are perhaps one of the easiest timepieces to date due to their serial numbers. Every Waltham watch produced since 1852 was engraved with a serial number. Determining the date of your Waltham pocket watch involves opening the back cover. The sterling silver case weighs about 4 ounces and was made by the Crescent Watch Case Company. The serial number of this watch is 254603 and was produced in 1906. The dial is double sunk and has only minor damage by the setting lever and some minor chips at the center, hidden by the hands.
