The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

1930s Craftsman pocket watch.

The watch has a good quality Swiss Cyma stem-winding movement (15 jewels, three adjustments) which is working nicely. The movement is signed Craftsman and has the Cyma calibre 999. This brand name was registered by at least five watch companies, one of which would have bought the movements in from Cyma for watches to be sold under the Craftsman brand name.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, the Birmingham based company supplied various watch makers with cases. The case has light surface marking from use and a couple of small “dings” to the back cover but overall it is in nice condition for a 1930s piece.

The acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The signed dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. There are two very faint hairline cracks, just about visible through a magnifying loupe.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.


ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
