NOTES: Through the 1950’s and 60’s, Waltham sourced parts to the United States and assembled watches rather than making everything in-house like before. Cases, dials and movements were sourced and just final assembly was done at the Waltham facility in Massachusetts. During the Hallmark years, Blancpain, in Switzerland, was contracted to provide entire watches, complete with the "Waltham" name on the dial.
