WALTHAM Freemasonry Watch Very Unique and Rare Just Serviced Must See
I am pleased to offer this very unique and rare Waltham Freemasonry watch. It is a Masonic Triangular wristwatch featuring manual winding with a 17 jewel movement. This is a rare and important example of Masonic history, using plychrome Masonic symbols in place of numerals on the dial. This wristwatch is a highly sought after and collectible wristwatch. The case is also decorated with Masonic symbols. The hands are black with the hour hand utilizing a triangular hour pointer to go with the overall triangular motif. Additionally, the hands include baton minute and red-tipped sweep second hand.
The case is 14K Gold filled with a stainless steel back. The winding crown appears on the right extreme of the base of the triangle, at the 4 o’clock position. Above the triangular case is the “point within the circle”. On this upper lug, is represented is the letter “G” within a compass star, which is a typical Freemasonry logo that represents the standards of virtue and conduct upheld by the Freemasons. The strap is blue crocodile, supplied by Tourneau Jewelers. The movement, dial and case are signed and the dial is also signed Waltham. The hour positions are adorned with full color Masonic symbols.
The triangular case bears a chain link bezel pattern, which symbolizes the unbroken chain of Brotherly Love and Affection. The symbolism stems from Phoenix masonry, the Blue Lodge and the York Rite bodies. The center of the dial bears the regenerating Rising Phoenix and around the rim, appears the working tools of many degrees. The 12 o’clock position has the all-seeing Eye of Providence. The motto “Love your Fellow Man, Lend Him a Helping Hand” features prominently in the center of the dial. The watch has just been overhauled by a master watchmaker and functions perfectly. The timepiece was purchased by the owner from the private collection of the former Governor of the State of Illinois, James Thompson.
