1920s Pioneer Open Faced Pocket Watch and Chain

1900 - 1920
Description

1920s Pioneer open faced pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a signed Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some light surface marking and a couple of small “dings” from use.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model which was made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, supplier of cases to various watch makers. The case has light surface marking but overall it is in nice condition for a 1920s piece. Monogrammed initials to the central cartouche on the back.

The acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The white enamel dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands.

The watch comes with a rolled gold double chain, with each chain measuring 23cm long.

The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An open-faced pocket watch features a dial exposed directly beneath a glass crystal without a protective metal cover. This layout traditionally positions the winding crown at twelve oclock and the sub-seconds dial at six oclock, allowing the time to be read instantly.

During the 1920s, pocket watch cases were frequently manufactured from rolled gold, gold plate, sterling silver, or nickel alloys. Dials were commonly crafted from enamel or metal with painted numerals, while internal movements incorporated synthetic jewel bearings.

Authentic 1920s pocket watches typically display Art Deco numeric typography, crisp dial printing, and specific serial numbers stamped onto the movement and case back. Inspecting movement design, crown shape, and maker hallmarks provides evidence of manufacturing date.

In contemporary interiors, pocket watches are often displayed beneath glass cloches or suspended from dedicated brass watch stands on desks or shelves. Alternatively, they can be mounted in shallow glass-fronted shadow frames to display both the watch case and chain.

Mechanical pocket watches should be wound carefully once per day without forcing the crown mechanism. To preserve timekeeping accuracy, keep the piece away from humidity and strong magnetic fields, and arrange periodic servicing by a professional horologist.
