Description

Gents antique silver trench watch, 1916.

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

The watch measures 33.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for London (import mark), 1916 with a sponsor’s mark for Dimier Brothers.

Charles-Louis and Auguste-Antoine Dimier established watchmaking and export businesses in the mid 1800s and had branches in China, Switzerland and London. They exported Swiss movements and watches into the UK.

The front and sides of the case are in good condition. The hinged case back has some unevenness and evidence of an earlier thread through strap.

The glass lens has light marking but is very acceptable (some reflection showing in the photos).

The dial is in lovely condition… the luminous detail has been removed from the hands and numbers at some point in its life.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1910s.
