Antique Silver Revue Pocket Watch, J W Benson, 1928

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver Revue pocket watch, J W Benson, 1928.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has been identified as by Revue, and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover which has surface polishing marks.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1928, with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, the Birmingham case maker. The case has light surface marking and small marks, nothing too serious.

The acrylic lens is in good condition, just a short scratch near the edge but not too noticeable at all.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, J W Benson. It is in beautiful condition with original hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

FAQs

An open face pocket watch lacks a protective metal cover over the glass crystal, featuring the winding stem positioned at 12 oclock and typically a sub-seconds dial at 6 oclock. Popularised in the early twentieth century, these timepieces relied on Swiss mechanical movements housed within solid silver cases for daily wear.

Traditional 1920s pocket watches were constructed using sterling silver cases, vitreous enamel dials, and mineral glass crystals. Internal mechanical movements utilised brass plates, steel gears, and synthetic jewel bearings to reduce component friction.

Authentic British-market silver pocket watches display official assay office hallmarks stamped inside the case back, indicating metal purity and year of manufacture. Dials frequently bear retailer signatures alongside movement origin markings along the bottom perimeter.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a brass stand on an office desk or attached to a waistcoat with a silver Albert chain for formal wear. Alternatively, it serves as a tactile collectible exhibited within a glass cloche.

Store silver pocket watches in a low-humidity environment to minimise oxidisation, and avoid over-winding the mechanical spring mechanism. Periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years ensures the internal lubrication remains effective.
