What makes the Boston 145 unique: Today we are happy to bring you this wonderful timepiece from the Waltham Watch Company, our Boston 145. We are absolutely in love with the layout and look of the dial on this watch. It is rare that we see a simplistic dial such as this without traditional numerals, and the gold-colored accents matched with the hands are absolutely stunning. The minute indicators around the outside add that extra flair and detail. A gold-coated crown and hardware compliment the dial and pair well with our Yukon strap. We went with our machined titanium case to bring attention and contrast the design elements of the face and are very happy with how it turned out. As if the outer appearance isn’t enough to show off, you will be taking this watch off to share the beauty of what is revealed beneath through our signature open-backed case. This large build plate has been carefully manufactured with a Rose Engine lathe to create this spectacular damaskeening all throughout. 17 screw-set and friction-set jewels keep everything running smoothly, while the gold-plated gears quietly reveal themselves beneath. This watch was originally produced in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1933. This is the very same year that the United States of America finally repealed the prohibition act, ending a 13-year drought of liquor sales during that time. America was still on its heels at this time, trying to come out of the Great Depression, and American Made products such as this one are part of the base that helped us climb back on our feet again.
