Antique Silver Pocket Watch, Military Connection pocket watch  watch watches %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
Antique silver H Samuel Climax Trip Action pocket watch with military history.

The watch has a fully signed key-wound movement which is working nicely and keeping good time to within around four minutes over 24 hours. The movement is protected by an inner fitted cover which has the wording “Climax Reg'd, Guaranteed English Manufacture Throughout”.

The watch measures 55mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case backs for Chester 1900 with a maker's mark for H Samuel. The case has a little unevenness in places but overall the condition is good.

In 1862 when Harriet Samuel took over her father-in-law's clock-making business in Liverpool, she renamed the business H Samuel and moved the business to Manchester's Market Street where she ran the company as a mail order business.

Later on, Harriet’s son concentrated on the retail side of the business, and the first H Samuel retail store opened in Preston in 1890, closely followed by branches in Rochdale and throughout Lancashire. Since then the company has become nationwide with branches in many British High Streets today.

The inner cover is nicely engraved and reads, 'Private J H Edwards, from the Officers, 1st Lancashire Fusiliers, October 1902', possibly relating to the Boer War where the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers served.

The acrylic lens has light surface scratching but you have to look closely to see it.

The signed dial is in lovely condition.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
