What makes the Boston 471 unique: Today, we’re excited to showcase this truly unforgettable watch initially produced by the American Waltham Watch Company in 1926 — the Boston 471. This historic watch boasts an incredibly unique dial with dark golden numerals and a distinct charcoal background. The front of the piece also displays a utilitarian subdial and sumptuous gold-plated solid arrow watch hands. We emphasized the watch’s unusual and stunning dial by pairing it with our robust Machined Titanium case, and we topped it off with a gold-plated crown, matching the dial’s watch hands. On the back, you can view the pocket watch’s original Premier-grade open-face movement with a nickel finish, pendant setting, and center bridge plate. The back of the piece also boasts 21 remarkable jewels, keeping these beautiful gold-plated gears spinning. Finally, we equipped this stunning watch with our comfortable, hand-crafted Rye leather watch strap, tying together this splendid one-of-a-kind piece.

The American Waltham Watch Company originally manufactured this eye-catching watch in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1926 — the same year legendary American icon Andy Griffith was born in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Griffith was known for various works in film and television, including A Face in the Crowd, No Time for Sergeants, Matlock, and The Andy Griffith Show. In addition to being an accomplished actor, he was also a southern gospel singer and writer, and he was inducted into the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1999. He received other various recognitions for his achievements in media, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Grammy Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and even his own museum in Mount Airy, North Carolina.
