The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Antique Waltham full hunter pocket watch for Fattorini.

The watch has a 15 jewel stem-winding movement, grade 620, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 17560782 which dates it back to 1908. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50.6mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated and is the Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, supplier of cases to Waltham UK. The case is in good condition with just general very light surface marks and a couple of small “dings” to the outer edge.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover. Inside, there is an acrylic lens which has light surface marking from use.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer of the watch, Watch & Chronometer manufacturer, T Fattorini Bolton & Skipton. The dial is in good condition and has blued steel hands, a sunken subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The Fattorini family were well known in the watch trade. The company was established in 1827 by Antonio Fattorini and his four youngest sons subsequently ran the three branches in Skipton, Bradford and Harrogate. These three branches went on to become run independently of each other and they then became the future inheritance of the sons concerned.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
