1940s 9ct Smiths wrist watch made for J W Benson
A 1940s 9 carat Smiths wrist watch made for J W Benson.
The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement, made in England by Smiths. It is signed with the J W Benson name and is working nicely.
J W Benson was a highly regarded watch maker and retailer who was based in London and traded from 1847 to the early 1970s. The company held various royal warrants including watch maker to Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales, the Tsar of Russia and several other royal families.
During the first World War, the Benson factory was bombed and thousands of antique clocks and watches were destroyed. From then on, Benson was purely a retailer who used high quality Swiss movements and also English movements from Smiths.
The watch measures 30mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. Although designed to be a man’s watch, it is of smaller proportions and would suit someone with a slimmer wrist. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1948, with a maker’s mark for the England based watch case maker Aaron Dennison. There is a 1949 presentation inscription to the back of the watch.
The case and lens are both in good condition.
The signed dial has some marking, mainly around the edge, but the distinctive hour hand gives it great character.
A new leather strap has been fitted. 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.
