The watch's dial features a breathtakingly original style with a floral design accompanied by gilt stars and crescents. The dial also has an eye-catching light green shading as well as remarkably sophisticated hour and minute hands. We emphasized the pocket watch's one-of-a-kind dial by encasing it within our gleaming, scratch-resistant Machined Titanium case, and we equipped it with a gold-plated crown that matches the dial's golden details. The back of the watch boasts an antique Maximus-grade open-face movement and impressive bronze-plated gears. The original pocket watch also features 21 lavish jewels throughout its ¾ plate. Finally, we paired the Boston 444 with our comfortable, hand-crafted Olive leather watch strap, further drawing attention to the dial's noteworthy colors. The American Waltham Watch Company initially produced the Boston 444's pocket watch in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1901 — the same year that Annie Taylor became the first person to travel over Niagara Falls in a barrel. The 63-year-old schoolteacher thought that performing the dangerous feat would earn her fame and fortune, but people quickly forgot about her shortly after her foolhardy stunt. Although she failed to make a name for herself during her lifetime, she inspired others to travel over Niagara Falls intentionally, and her legacy inspired a musical, multiple poems, and a children's book titled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eQueen of the Falls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Vortic Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39805815226446,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1710\/0345\/products\/2022-05-09-7729.jpg?v=1652213602","url":"https:\/\/vorticwatches.mom\/products\/the-boston-444-46mm","provider":"Vortic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
