J W Benson Half Hunter Pocket Watch, 1933

J W Benson half hunter pocket watch, 1933.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name of the original retailer, J W Benson, the prestigious London jeweller and retailer. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the three covers for Birmingham 1933, with a maker’s mark for the Birmingham case maker Aaron Dennison.

The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by blue enamel filled Roman numerals. The front cover is in good condition, just light surface marks. A couple of small bruises to the side but not too serious. Some fairly gentle unevenness to the back of the watch.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in very nice condition. Half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
