A 1935 silver J W Benson pocket watch
A 1935 silver J W Benson pocket watch.
J W Benson Ltd was the official watchmaker to the Admiralty and the War Department and also held a number of royal warrants, being watchmakers to Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales, the Tsar of Russia and several other royal families.
They were probably London’s most important watch makers and watch retailers of the second half of the 19th and the first half of 20th centuries selling English and Swiss made watches.
This particular watch has a Cyma stem-winding movement, calibre 939. After the first World War, Cyma became one of Benson's main suppliers of movements. This movement is working nicely, with a good strong tick, and the time keeping is good. The movement is signed J W Benson, 15 jewels, Swiss made and it is protected by an inner hinged dust cover.
The watch measures 50 mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London 1935, together with the the monarchs heads of King George V and Queen Mary to celebrate their silver jubilee. The case is also stamped with the maker’s mark of JWB for J W Benson. The case has some small marks and a couple of small “dings” to the back but overall is in good order for a 1930s piece.
The plastic lens is a later replacement it is in good condition.
The white enamel dial is signed J W Benson, London. It is in beautiful condition and has its original blued steel hands.
The watch comes on a Victorian silver albert, 36cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.
Also included is the J W Benson presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
