Swiss Silver Pocket Watch and Chain

Swiss silver pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1935 with a case maker’s mark for

Aaron Dennison, a prolific case maker and supplier to many watch makers. The front and sides of the case are in good condition, just a small patch of unevenness on the bezel. The case back has some unevenness.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is in lovely condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The chain measures 32cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The T-bar and clasp are hallmarked for Birmingham 1912 with a maker’s mark for the Birmingham silversmith Henry Pope. Each link has the lion silver mark, and one has the HP initials again so we can be sure that all chain components are original to each other. Also included is a silver 1915 fob, free from any personal inscriptions. The chain and fob weigh 42g.

The watch and chain come in a vintage presentation box from a Bristol jeweller.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
