Very rare Waltham “Tonneau Enamel” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in solid sterling silver gold with blue enamel inlaid numerals, circa 1929.

This Waltham model has a tonneau-shaped case with a circular bezel containing fancy Art Deco numerals inlaid with lapis blue enamel. This example was cased in a wire-lug sterling silver case by Dennison in England. Dennison was one of Waltham's founders, eventually moving to England to start a watch case company. His firm became Waltham's agent in Engalnd and it cased many Waltham movements in Birmingham, England. Date code inside caseback indicates manufacture of this case in 1929. It is the only sterling silver example I have ever seen. It is in excellent condition showing only very light wear. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 34mm long and 28mm wide. Inlaid enamel dial is very good, with some patina and spotting from age. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 7-jewel Waltham 6/0-size manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
