Antique Thomas Russell full hunter pocket watch
Antique Thomas Russell full hunter pocket watch.
The company name of Thomas Russell & Son was established in 1859 when Thomas Russell (who was listed as a watchmaker as early as 1848) handed over the control of the business to Thomas Robert Russell and Alfred Holgate Russell. The company was very well respected and successful and they earned a Royal Warrant, ‘Makers to Queen Victoria’… they continued to benefit from this Warrant even after it ceased upon Victoria’s death in 1901 although its continued use was only tolerated for a short while.
After the partnership split, Thomas Russell continued as the proprietor of the Russell Watch & Chronometer Manufactury and Alfred Russell continued as Thomas Russell & Son. Thomas Russell & Son achieved a Royal Warrant as makers to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. In 1881 they started importing watches from Switzerland.
This particular watch has a Swiss seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Thos Russell & Son name, and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is rolled gold and was made by the Illinois Watch Case Company. The inside of the back cover is also signed J Hargreaves & Co… J Hargreaves ceased trading in 1902, having been absorbed by Thomas Russell. The case is in good condition, just general light surface marks, nothing serious at all.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.
Inside, the lens is in lovely condition.
The signed dial has its original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a little damage at number 5, and a 1cm faint hairline .
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
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.
