Rare antique Kummer pocket watch with chain
A rare antique Edward Kummer pocket watch with chain.
The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the initials EKB for Edward Kummer of Bettlach. The EKB watch factory was founded in 1888 for the manufacture of pocket watches. The firm successfully grew from initially employing 20 watchmakers to 720 workers by the beginning of the 20th Century. In the 1920s, EKB was one of the first manufacturers to offer a waterproof wrist watch and, for this reason, the company name was changed to Atlantic.
The movement in this particular watch has a 1910 patent which relates to the workings of the movement and probably also to the unusual feature of this watch which is the subsidiary second hand which actually moves anti-clockwise. The number counters on the sub seconds dial also count down in an anti clockwise direction.
The watch itself measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and is in good condition for its age, just light surface marks and some gentle unevenness to the back.
The acrylic lens is in good condition, just the odd light mark.
The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, Munn, Sheerness, who was also listed as a watch and antique clock maker. The dial is in lovely condition with blued steel hands which are initially pin-set.
The watch comes with a single albert which measures 31cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.
The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
For a video of the watch ticking, please go to Facebook and search for The Vintage Wrist Watch Company. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us for international shipping prices. Due to changes in EU regulations, including Northern Ireland, we no longer ship to these destinations.
For other countries, The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
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.
