Rare Waltham Canadian Pacific Railway with Logo on Movement and Custom Case
This exquisite Waltham Grade P.S. Bartlett is an extremely rare, privately branded Canadian Pacific Railway edition. As such it is a railroad-grade pocket watch according to Canadian railway standards. The Canadian railroad grade timepieces featured some distinctive differences that set them apart from their U.S. counterparts. For example, Canadian railway standards did not require lever setting, 21 jewels, 24 hour time instead of 12 hours, and they permitted the use of Roman numerals. This famous P.S. Bartlett movement was custom crafted and features the beaver logo and emblem of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The movement is housed in an astonishing case of custom craftsmanship. The case is distinguishable due to its seamless design, meaning the seams are hidden beneath the bezels, and the center portion screws off. This is an opportunity to own this historic and extremely rare timepiece and if you're a collector of Canadian railroad grade timepieces you won't want to miss this one.
