Thomas Russell 1⁄4 repeater full hunter watch
Antique quarter repeater full hunter pocket watch from Thomas Russell & Son.
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.
By 1938, the firm had become Thomas Russell & Son Watch Co Ltd.
This particular watch has a super quality Swiss stem-winding quarter-repeater movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The repeater mechanism is activated by pivoting the lever on the case side band, the hammer strikes on the gong for every hour followed by a double strike for every quarter. If you would like to hear the gong, there is a video on our Facebook page (The Vintage Wrist Watch Company), or we can email a video to you.
The watch itself measures 56mm diameter excluding the stem and slider. The case is gold plated and was made by the Illinois Watch Case Company. Their name is inside the case back together with the Thomas Russell & Son signature. There is rubbing to the plate around the edge of the front and back, probably just from rubbing in a pocket over the years, and
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition. Often the original glass lenses were replaced with acrylic if they broke, a much more durable material.
The signed dial is in very nice condition. The blued steel hands are lever set.
The watch comes in a vintage presentation box (not Thomas Russell).
UK postage only on this item.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
