What makes the Boston 442 unique: Today, we’re pleased to feature this unique and memorable watch originally manufactured by the American Waltham Pocket Watch Company — the Boston 442. The watch features a distinct dial with a cream-colored background, brown, stylized numerals, and dark-gray hour and minute hands. The dial also sports a breathtaking and elegant center design along with a highly unique subdial. We encased the original pocket watch inside our handcrafted, scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case, and we equipped the watch with a copper crown that matches the dial’s numerals. On the back of the watch, you can view its intricate inner workings with its 1235-grade open-face movement, Breguet hairspring, and glimmering bridge plate. The watch’s rear also boasts robust, luxurious gold-plated gears powered by 17 vibrant jewels. Finally, we topped the piece off with our artisan-designed Olive leather watch strap. The American Waltham Watch Company initially produced this piece in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1929 — the same year in which the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences held the first Academy Awards. That year, the films 7th Heaven and Sunrise won the most academy awards with three each, and the film Wings became the first-ever Outstanding Picture award, which is now known as Best Picture. Unlike the contemporary Academy Awards, the Academy announced the Oscar winners three months before holding the ceremony.
