Gents antique 9ct gold Mappin wrist watch, 1924
UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM
Gents antique 9ct gold Mappin wrist watch, 1924.
The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a little scratching.
The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is 9ct gold and there are hallmarks inside both of the hinged case backs for Edinburgh (import mark) 1924, together with the Mappin & Webb mark and also the importer’s mark for Arthur George Rendell.
In 1907, an act came into force which meant that all imported watches had to be assayed in a UK assay office and marked with British import hallmarks. For this, a sponsor's mark was required. In this particular case, Arthur Rendell was an employee, and probably in charge, of the department that handled imported watches at a company called Pringles, the UK's largest wholesalers of antique jewellery, silverware, antique clocks and watches, so it was deemed relevant to use his initials.
This particular watch would have passed through Pringles on its way to the Mappin showrooms.
The dial has light marking if you look very closely.
The signed dial has the red 12, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. The minute hand is a period replacement but both hands are in the Breguet style. To initially set the time, pull the crown out to second position and turn it so that the hands move clockwise. There is a hairline between 3 and 4 but again, not overly noticeable to the naked eye.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
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.
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.
