1930s Lanco pocket watch and chain.
The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Lanco, one of the brand names registered by Langendorf, and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover which has a few scratches from where it has been opened in the past.
The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is chrome plated nickel. It has light surface marking with just a hint of unevenness to the hinged case back.
The acrylic lens is in nice condition.
The white enamel dial has a very faint hairline crack to the outer edge between 4 and 5 but otherwise it is in nice condition and has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
The watch comes on a vintage graduated watch chain which measures 28cm including the clasp and T bar.
The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
