Gents antique silver wristwatch, Morath, Liverpool
Gents antique silver wrist watch, Morath of Liverpool.
The watch has an unsigned Cyma hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner silver cover.
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are Continental hallmarks inside the case backs together with Chester hallmarks for 1920 together with an importer's mark for James Weir. James Weir acted as an assay agentĀ for foreign manufacturers who did not have a British address from which to submit items to the assay office. Weir's company received packages of watch cases, stamped them with the registered sponsor's mark, sent them into the Glasgow Assay Office for assay and hallmarking and then returned them abroad. This particular case is in good condition. The winding crown is a later replacement.
The bevelled watch glass has minor marking but is very acceptable.
The dial is signed by the original retailers of the watch, Morath Brothers of Liverpool. The Morath Brothers originated from the Black Forest region and they are listed as having shops in Dale Street from 1848 onwards. They sold a range of antique clocks and watches but specialised in cuckoo antique clocks.
Originally the hands on this particular watch would have had infill but this has been removed over the years. The dial has a shade or two of age related darkening.
The watch has a later leather strap with deployment clasp.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
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.
