What makes the Boston 450 unique: Today, we’re thrilled to showcase this exquisite piece initially produced by the American Waltham Watch Company — the Boston 450. The watch’s dial boasts a breathtaking light-cream-colored background with luxurious gold-colored numerals. The piece’s royal blue arrow watch hands make the front of the watch even more sumptuous-looking and stylish. We encased the original pocket watch within our robust and scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case, and we equipped it with a gold-plated crown matching the dial’s lavish-looking numerals. Our Machined Titanium case features a clear back, enabling watch enthusiasts to behold this piece’s stunning gold-plated gears and other impressive inner workings. You can view its remarkable 1235-grade open-face movement with a Breguet hairspring, nickel finish, and pendant setting, with 17 jewels throughout its bridge plate. Finally, we paired this antique watch with our comfortable and stylish Rye leather watch strap, further adding to the piece’s breathtaking golden color scheme. The American Waltham Watch Company originally manufactured the Boston 450’s pocket watch in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1929 — the same year that American businessman Sam Foster developed celluloid sunglasses. Although people used sunglasses long before the 20th century, Foster’s invention enabled businesses to mass-produce and distribute more affordable sunglasses, resulting in them becoming far more common.
