Description

Antique J W Benson silver pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, by Cyma, which is working nicely. The movement is signed J W Benson, the original retailer of the watch. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London 1935, together with a sponsor’s mark for J W Benson. The case has some small marks and gentle unevenness to the hinged case back.

The watch has a glass lens, a couple of minor marks but not too noticeable.

The signed dial is in beautiful condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes with a single silver chain, 34cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. There is also a George IV shilling which has been made into a fob.

The watch comes in its J W Benson presentation box.
