Silver Thomas Russel Pocket Watch 1887

You’re bidding on a silver open faced pocket watch by the famous maker Thomas Russell from Liverpool, Chester 1887.
This watch has just come back from my watchmaker and is therefore in a perfect working order. However, cannot guarantee accuracy as this watch is antique.

Dial: The white enamel dial has black Roman numerals, nice gilt hands, seconds at the 6 and is signed: “T.R Russel 18 Church St Liverpool”

Movement: Fusee lever movement is high quality. It is signed: “T.R Russel 18 Church St Liverpool maker to the queen”
The movement is numbered: 91815.

Case: The watch is lying in a London hallmarked silver open faced case numbered 91815 and 84611. The back of the case shows a free monogram cartouche.

Thomas Russell was listed as a watch manufacturer in 1848 in Liverpool, where the Russell Time O’Day watches were manufactured. By 1870 they were listed as makers to the Queen. They moved then to Slater Street and Holborn, and by 1877 in Church Street in Liverpool. From 1894 it seems that they were retail jewellers with branches in Liverpool and by the early 1900s at Manchester.

Signed: T.R Russell - Diameter:52mm - Weight: 124.6 - Circa:1887
