Description

Hampden Watch Co Wm McKinley full hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a 17-jewel adjusted stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed, and it has the signature of Wm McKinley who was the 25th president of the United States, serving from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. The movement carries the serial number 3195784 which dates it back to 1914.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some scratching.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and is nicely decorated on both the front and the back. There is some rubbing in places.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside, there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good condition, just a little chip just above number 7 but not too detrimental at all. Original blued steel hands, outer minute markers in red.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
