Description

Antique 1920s Leonidas chronograph pocket watch.

The chronograph has a stem-winding movement, identified as by Valjoux for Leonidas, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a minor marking.

The chronograph measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it is in nice condition with just general light marking, nothing serious at all.

The acrylic lens is in good condition, just light marking.

The signed dial has an inner 24 hour dial, two subsidiary dials (one for constant seconds and the other to record up to 30 minutes), and an outer 0-300 scale which is a classic feature on English navigation chronographs. There is a small old patch of damage at the bottom of the dial.

The chronograph comes in a period presentation box.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

FAQs

Chronograph pocket watches evolved significantly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, incorporating stopwatch functions alongside standard timekeeping to meet the demands of science, industry, and sports.

These timepieces typically feature base metal or silver-plated cases, white enamel dials with painted numerals, and intricate mechanical manual-wind movements crafted from brass and steel components.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps on the case interior, verifying the makers signature on the dial or movement, and checking for period-correct mechanical complications and wear patterns.

A pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated metal stand within a glass cabinet, on a desk organizer, or integrated into a curated vignette alongside books and other historical artefacts.

To preserve mechanical integrity, keep the watch away from moisture and magnetic fields, wind it gently only when necessary, and have it serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
