Vacheron Constantin silver hunter pocket watch
UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM
Antique Vacheron Constantin silver half hunter pocket watch.
Vacheron Constantin are regarded as the world's oldest watch brand in continuous operation since its founding in 1755. The company was also the first to manufacture movements with interchangeable parts, beginning such production in 1839.
This particular watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, identified as by Vacheron Constantin, which is working nicely. The movement is not signed, which is quite normal if the watch is intended as a private label piece, but it has the Vacheron Constantin serial number, 288013, which dates it back to 1905/1906. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a long but light scratch across it.
The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Continental 935 silver hallmarks inside all three covers. The inside of the back cover also has the Vacheron Constantin Maltese cross logo. Vacheron Constantin chose this symbol for their logo because it represents the shape of the component that fixed to the barrel of its movement, which reduces the amount of wheels necessary for winding.
The case is in good condition with just a hint of unevenness in places but nothing serious at all. The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by blue enamel filled Roman numerals.
The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover, which then needs opening with your thumb. The cover opens up further than the usual 90 degrees.
The watch glass is in good condition.
The dial has been left blank so that the retailer could add their details if required. Pin-set blued steel hands including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed. There is a little marking to the dial, and a couple of hairline cracks radiating from the centre although they are faint. There is also a little chip to the centre of the sub seconds dial.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
