What makes the Boston 353 unique: We are happy to present to you this beautiful watch from the Waltham Watch Company, our Boston 353. We love the unique look and feel of this beautiful watch, featuring a gorgeous coat of arms design in the center of the dial and stunning Gothic-style numerals. Each and every watch that we make has its own flair of character and signature look, and we just love exploring the different stories of each and every one of them. The maroon full moon hands pair well with the soft tones of the dial and complement the gunmetal titanium case nicely. We topped it off with our nickel-plated crown and hardware, as well as our classy black cordovan strap. The heart of this watch is powered by nothing other than the high-end Riverside movement, boasting 19 screw-set and friction-set jewels throughout. Decorated all across the nickel-plated build surfaces to give a very unique look, as well as gold-plated gears that show through from beneath to add to the appeal. This watch was originally manufactured in 1923 in Waltham, Massachusetts. In this same year, the New York Renaissance, better known as the “Rens” was formed in Harlem. This was the very first all-black professional basketball team in America. Manager Bob Douglas made a deal with Harlem real estate developer William Roach, the owner of the new Renaissance Ballroom and Casino to let them play their home games in his ballroom in exchange for changing the team name to match.
