Description

Gents silver wrist watch, 1927.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 25mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 31.5mm high excluding the lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks on the back of the watch for London 1927 with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell. From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail. The case has light surface marking but is very acceptable for a 1920s piece.

The convex lens is in good condition, again just very light surface marking.

The dial is in its original finish with original hands.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Silver Wristwatch to the 1920s.

FAQs

Art Deco watches from the 1920s are characterised by geometric cases, often rectangular or square, stylised numeral fonts, and a shift from pocket watches to wristwear driven by military utility in the First World War.

Cases were typically crafted from sterling silver, gold, or rolled gold, housing mechanical hand-wound movements protected by mineral glass or early acrylic crystals.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks on the inner case back for silver purity and makers marks, alongside inspecting the mechanical movement for period-correct bridge layouts and serial numbers.

A vintage wristwatch pairs well with tailored tailoring, crisp linen shirts, or minimalist knitwear, adding understated historical character to modern ensembles.

Antique mechanical watches require professional servicing every few years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding without over-tensioning the mainspring.
