Not sure of Movement maker

[Bobby P]

Can someone help identify the maker? It has Waltham dial and indicated England. I think it is considered a Doctors watch.

Hi Bobby P,

It looks to me like a Waltham chronograph. The 'England' is a reference to the patent being registered in this country as well as the USA, and doesn't imply that it was made here.

Regards,

It is indeed a Waltham Hillside 14 Size movement with added chronograph complication. This complication was added to the 1874 and 1884 Hillside models; yours is the 1874 Model with 15 jewels and was made c1880. If you want more information I would ask a moderator to move this to the American Watch forum.

What a beautiful piece. I should imagine it was a costly investment back in the day.

Nice watch, great chance it is a 16 Jewel model, be interesting to find out when and if you get it serviced.

The Grey Book says it is 15 jewels . I should have said previously the chronograph parts are to Lugrin's Patent some detail of which can be found 'here'.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the grey book is wrong, like I said will be interesting to find out when serviced.
