This watch is an example of watches finished by Waltham employees for their personal use and pleasure. It started out as a relatively high grade 1883 model Crescent St. grade. This was the highest grade of the 1883 model in regular production.

The employee then added a jewel on the back center arbor hole and cap jewels on the escape wheel and pallet arbor jewel holes to bring the total jewel count up to 20. 

This employee probably worked in the jewelling department since the damaskeening pattern appears to be standard for the model and grade but with much better than average execution.
