According to the serial number database, 123166 corresponds to Waltham watch: Model 1859, grade "Wm. Ellery," size 18. That would be similar to the 1857 Waltham watch presented to Abraham Lincoln upon completing the Gettysburg Address in 1863.
Research indicates the watch was actually manufactured by the newly formed American Watch Co. after Waltham Improvement Co. merged with Appleton, Tracey & Co. (January 1859).
Nelson P. Stratton designed the model 1859 under the direction of Aaron Dennison, as a continuation of the "thin" design created by Dennison, Howard & Davis of the Boston Watch Co.
I have a Dennison Watch Case Co. 14ct Gold Sovereign Case # 23748 with Two Gold Sovereigns from 1897 and 1909 in it. Markhall5@verizon.net
Aaron Dennison (1812-1895) set up a watchmaking company pre 1840 at Waltham, Mass. becoming the American Watch Co. which was the predecessor of the Waltham Watch Co. although watches continued to be signed by both concerns along with names of the other companies under this umbrella. Watches for the British market were exported and then cased in England by the Dennison Watch Case Co. which had been set up in Birmingham. The case is made from a base metal then normally 10k gold plate.
