Here are typical winding/setting parts from this 1899 model Waltham. Many, many Walthams use this "shipper" arrangement. There are more parts here than other makes used, and it's a bit harder to assemble, but the design does work well.

Testing the new balance staff, prior to adding the roller table and hairspring to the balance assembly...

This Waltham has two interesting things going on. First, it is a "stretch case". The movement is 6 size, but the case is larger, more like 12 size. This give the watch a larger size but a thinner profile. You can see the wider than usual bezel.

Secondly, it is a hunter movement, with the seconds dial (the third wheel) at 90 degrees from the stem. An open face movement has the stem 180 degrees from the seconds dial. The dial this watch has is a rotated design, so that the 12:00 is "up" by the stem. This places the seconds dial at 3:00.

This Elgin is an older key-wind and set. Always nice to get these ticking...
