Antique Silver Solex Lever Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique silver Solex Lever pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement , signed Solex Lever, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1922 together with a maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, the Birmingham case manufacturer who supplied various watch makers with cases.

The case has a couple of small bruises to the side and a little unevenness to the back but overall is in good condition.

The glass lens has light marking but is very acceptable.

The dial looks good to the naked eye. Under a magnifying loupe, you can see a short hairline under the centre of the dial. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a silver double albert. The T-bar is unhallmarked silver. Each of the links has the lion silver mark. The clasps are probably later, and are stamped 925. Each chain measures 23cm including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
