Rare Set of American Waltham Gold-Filled Pocket Watch & N.C. Rice Co. Albert Watch Chain, Fancy Jewel Enamel Dial, Circa 1902

,
This 15-jewel American Waltham Grade Seaside (Model 1890) pocket watch is a premier example of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. Produced circa 1902, the nickel movement (Serial #11760312) features intricate damascening and a stem-wind/stem-set configuration housed in a high-quality “Cashier” 25-year gold-filled case by the American Watch Case Co. of Toronto.
The watch is distinguished by its artisanal “Fancy” porcelain enamel dial, featuring a brilliant white vitreous finish adorned with hand-applied gold-leaf scrollwork and ruby-colored indices. This permanent, fired-glass surface includes a recessed sub-second register, reflecting the aesthetic opulence of the era.
Completing the set is an authentic 12.75-inch Single Albert chain by N.C. Rice & Co. (marked NCRNCO). The gold-filled assembly features a traditional T-bar anchor and decorative multi-link fob, providing a complete, period-correct presentation. This ensemble is highly collectible, offering a rare combination of a jewel-set “Fancy” dial and a maker-marked vintage chain.
This ensemble is a highly collectible representative of the “Golden Age” of American watchmaking. While the Model 1890 Seaside movement is prized for its reliability and decorative finish, the inclusion of an original, maker-marked N.C. Rice & Co. chain significantly elevates its desirability. For enthusiasts of Americana and horological history, this set offers a rare opportunity to own a complete, period-correct timekeeping kit exactly as it was configured over a century ago.
