Antique Silver Electa Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique silver Electa pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a high grade Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 44mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 935 silver, so slightly purer than sterling silver, and has Glasgow import marks for 1925. The case has some unevenness to the back but otherwise it is in nice condition.

The acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The dial has original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There are a couple of short faint hairlines to the edge between 7 and 8 but otherwise it is in nice condition.

The watch comes with a silver double chain which is hallmarked for Birmingham 1925, with a maker’s mark for William Walter Cashmore. Each of the links has the silver lion mark. Each length of chain measures 20cm including the T-bar and the clasp. Also included is a later 1936 silver fob with traces of an inscription to the reverse.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
