Antique silver Benson fusee pocket watch & chain antique  silver pocket watch %%alt5%%
Antique silver J W Benson fusee pocket watch & chain.

The watch has an English fusee movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed J W Benson, 62 & 64 Ludgate Hill, London, Watchmaker by Warrants to the Queen & The Prince of Wales. As this is a fusee chain driven movement, the key is wound in an anti clockwise direction.

The movement is protected by an inner fitted cover.

The watch measures 53mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London 1910 with a case maker’s mark for the Coventry watch case maker Clarke & Ward. The case is in good condition and the engine turned detail to the back is still nice and crisp.

Whilst there is no scar damage or other indication that the movement and case are not original to each other, we would have expected to see the JWB maker’s mark rather than the Clarke & Ward mark so we suspect the two have been married together at some stage, probably many years ago.

To initially set the time, the front cover is opened and the key is inserted into the middle. This front cover is quite difficult to open and requires a blade of some sort.

The glass lens is in lovely condition, just one nibble to the bevelled edge.

The dial is signed J W Benson, London. There is a faint hairline running vertically through the centre, and a short crack beneath the subsidiary seconds dial. At least one of the hands is a later replacement.

The watch comes with an antique single silver chain, 32cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
