What makes the Boston 408 unique: Today we are excited to bring this amazing watch to our lineup, originally manufactured by the Waltham Watch Company, this is our Boston 408. Immediately we are attracted to the perfectly clean appearance of this beautiful dial, uniquely designed to feature the minute indicators around the outside of the hours in red. These very fine spade-style hands do a nice job of not detracting from the appearance and keep in line with the very simple and elegant feel. We decided to place this watch in our bronzed titanium case to give it a luxurious feel, topped off with our copper crown and oxblood cordovan strap. We love the visual movement all throughout this movement, with this amazing damaskeening pattern that has been carefully machined onto the different layers of build plates. 17 jewels are screw-set into raised settings, spread out to help the different gears move smoothly and keep everything on track nicely. Gold-plated gears and a brass balance wheel bring a subtle touch of precious metal to give a visual balance of different elements to this stunning timepiece. This watch was originally manufactured in Waltham, Massachusetts all the way back in 1908. This year also marks the official launch of Ford’s Model T automobile. The very first one to leave the assembly line happened on September 27, with an initial retail price of only $850 US dollars.
