An Antique Silver Pocket Watch With History
An antique silver pocket watch with history.
The watch has a key-winding movement which is working nicely a key is included. The movement is protected by an inner fitted cover and then an inner hinged cover.
The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Swiss hallmarks inside both of the case backs. The inner cover has been engraved from when the watch was awarded to George Lacey as a thank you for rescuing Lily Goode from drowning in May 1930. The watch is older than the inscription and would have been 'second hand' when it was presented to Mr Lacey... we see this quite often as brand new watches would have been rather expensive at the time.
The case is in good condition, just a little unevenness to the bezel but nothing too detrimental at all.
The glass lens is in good order.
The dial is signed W E Watts, Nottingham, The Greenwich Lever. William Edward Watts was founded W E Watts in 1858. The company specialised in the production and retailing of branded pocket watches and the provision of time keeping equipment to the sailors and coast guards. The company is still trading today under a slightly different name and an historical collection of old W E Watts pocket watches is on display within the shop, which is in Derby. There is a little marking to the dial.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
