If you are interested in the history of Waltham and watch making in the late 1800s/early 1900s I would recommend the book: Disrupting Time: Industrial Combat, Espionage, and the Downfall of a Great American Company by Aaron Stark.
BTW I was wearing a vintage Waltham today.

Thanks for the title, I am wearing my Waltham today!
I wish I'd taken a photo of it, but the NAWCC museum has a good display on the early factory production of American pocket watches. Besides having some of the actual machinery used, they had a (enlarged) print of employee guidelines. Fascinating stuff.

Very nice. Here s the one I wore yesterday. This was new old stock when I got. So I have the box and the hang tag that was on it when I got it. Both I got serviced when I got them.
And another I own. Not new old stock just a nice watch.

I enjoyed the NAWCC museum when I went, though my visit was short. I would like to go again when I can spend the time to really enjoy it.

I think I was in there for about five hours. Most people seemed to breeze through in half an hour to an hour.

I think I was there for about two hours. I was using it to pass time waiting for an appointment.
