From the brand: What makes the Boston 045 unique:
The Boston 045 is a study in classic precision, featuring a pristine white dial that delivers unmatched legibility and timeless appeal. Bold black numerals surround the dial in a traditional serif font, paired with heat-blued spade-style hands that catch the light just right. A recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock adds symmetry and simplicity, while crisp red minute markers offer a pop of contrast—a utilitarian detail originally designed to aid early 20th-century railroad workers in precise timekeeping.
This piece is powered by a 17-jewel Waltham movement, proudly manufactured in 1907. What sets this movement apart is its intricate bridge engraving—floral-inspired patterns etched into each plate with masterful detail. These decorative flourishes speak to an era when form and function were treated with equal reverence.
We’ve housed this historic movement in a sandblasted stainless steel case that balances durability with a matte finish. The smooth polished bezel offers a subtle shine around the dial, and the vertically grooved crown adds functional grip and vintage character. It’s paired with a cognac-toned American-made leather strap for a clean, rugged finish that complements the movement’s era and the dial’s elegance.
In 1907, the first commercial radio broadcast was transmitted from New York, marking a revolutionary shift in global communication. Much like the precision of early radio waves, this watch reminds us of the technical innovation and attention to detail that shaped the early 20th century—and continues to inspire us today.
