A lovely spring day by the Waltham Watch factory
I found myself walking along the Charles River by the old Waltham Watch factory building this afternoon, so I snapped this photo to share with you all.

I’ve only been part of the watch community since 2020, so I am still learning. My tastes tend to run toward vintage and vintage-inspired watches.

Yes, it has been converted to a restaurant and condos. There may also be offices in there too. It’s a local landmark.

Me too. It’s about 20 minutes from my house in Lexington, and my daughter lives within walking distance.

There’s even a free Waltham Watch Co. museum on the ground floor! It’s pretty cool, it has a bunch old tools and machinery on display.
Incidentally, a year or two ago I brought some of my old radium watches to MIT to have their radioactivity measured. One of the gentlemen who was taking the readings told me that he was one of the people hired to clean up the radiation of the old Waltham Watch Co. factory when they were getting ready to renovate it for housing.
