The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Antique silver pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a good quality 17-jewel stem-winding movement, identified as by Record, with screw-set jewels, swan neck regulator and a Breguet hairspring. The watch is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a couple of short scratches.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case backs for Birmingham 1928 with a case maker’s mark for the Birmingham silversmith and case maker Aaron Dennison. The case is in good condition, just general light marking and a little unevenness but nothing too serious at all.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is in lovely condition.

The watch comes with a single chain, 39cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The T-bar is hallmarked for 1897, each of the graduated links has the lion silver mark although they are quite rubbed and the clasp is a later period replacement which is hallmarked for 1905. Also included is a silver fob awarded for a relay race, dated 1926.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
