1920s Limit Pocket Watch and Antique Rosewood Box

1920s Limit pocket watch and antique rosewood box.

The watch has a nice quality Swiss 15 jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Limit name, the company was an importer of watches into the UK, and they were based in Oldham in Lancashire, UK. The movement is protected by an inner hinged dust cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 10ct gold filled and it is the Moon model made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, an English case manufacturer and supplier to various watch makers. The case has very light surface and a small “ding” to the edge of the back cover but overall it is in very nice condition for a 1920s piece.

The glass lens is in nice condition.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands.

The watch came to us in the antique rosewood box. A handsome box with white metal embellishments. The lock has been removed at some stage, and the space has been filled. The silk on the inside of the box is a little tatty, and the lid is signed Marshall 1852.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
