Antique Silver James Wadsworth Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique silver James Wadsworth pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a good quality 15 jewel Cyma stem-winding movement which is working nicely.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is engraved, ‘Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd, The United Alkali Co Ltd, Presented to A W Robbins, for 29 Years Service’.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the back covers for Birmingham 1927 together with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. The Dennison Watch Case Company was a prolific manufacturer of cases, and supplier to various watch makers.

The case is in lovely condition with nice crisp engine turned detail to the back, together with a vacant cartouche to the centre. There is one scratch to the back.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, James Wadsworth, Manchester. It is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands.

The watch comes with a silver Churchill style chain, 35cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Hallmarked on the T-bar for 1900. Each of the links has the lion silver mark. The chain weighs 39g.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
