Le modèle 1857 a été fabriqué pour la première fois en 1857. Avant cette année-là, les montres de poche n'étaient pas constituées de pièces standard et leur réparation était difficile et coûteuse. L'American Watch Company a créé et commercialisé la première montre industrialisée à succès. Avant 1857, la Boston Watch Company fabriquait et vendait environ 5 000 mouvements et 4 000 cas avant d’échouer financièrement. À l’époque, l’usine comptait environ 1 300 montres à divers stades de production, qui n’avaient pas encore été transformées en montres complètes. Au printemps de 1857, la Boston Watch Company ne disposait pas de suffisamment d’argent pour continuer à fonctionner et était contrainte à l’insolvabilité. La plupart des montres de poche étaient fabriquées en Angleterre ou en France. Il s'agissait donc d'un test permettant aux fabricants américains de prendre et de produire des articles de meilleure qualité que les pays d'Europe, alors en pleine révolution industrielle. La plupart des montres de poche Modèle 57 étaient en argent, pur à 90%. (fr)

The American Watch Company created and marketed the first successful industrialized watch. Before 1857, The Boston Watch Company made and sold approximately 5,000 movements and 4,000 cases before it failed financially, and in the factory at the time there was an estimated 1,300 watches in various stages of production that had yet to be finished into complete watches. In the spring of 1857, the Boston Watch Company did not have enough money to stay running and was forced into insolvency. Most pocket watches were made in England or France, so this was a test for early American manufacturing to take and produce items better than the countries in Europe, which at the time was in the middle of the industrial revolution. Most of the Model 57 pocket watches were in coin silver, which is 90% pure.American system of watch manufacturing in Wikipedia is a great side reference on the Waltham Model 57 Pocket Watch (en)
