Description

Gents antique silver trench watch, 1917.

The watch has a hand-winding movement which is working nicely. Originally there would have been a hinge, so that the movement hinged out of the case, but this has come apart over the years. However, once the watch is all together and the bezel is on, it is very secure.

The watch measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the fixed wire lugs and the later winding crown. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London (import mark), 1917 together with an importer's mark for Louis Weill, a high class retailer and importer. The case has fairly light surface marks to the back but overall is in good condition.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The dial has a few hairline cracks although mostly faint, and a couple of chips to the outside which are covered by the bezel.

The watch has a vintage leather strap.

It comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1910s.
