1930s Revue pocket watch for Whittakers, with chain.
The watch has a high grade 17-jewel stem-winding movement, identified as a Revue, which is working nicely. The patterned plates, screw set jewels and snail cam micro regulator are all signs of a good quality movement. The movement is signed Whittakers, the original retailers of the watch. It is all protected by an inner polished brass dust cover.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and it is in lovely condition, with the engine turned detail to the case back still being nice and crisp. There is a small mark to the top of the cartouche on the back of the watch but it almost looks like part of the design.
The watch glass has small marks across it but is acceptable.
The dial has some hairline cracks around 10 and 11 but they are towards the edge of the dial . Original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch comes with a
... chunky single chain, 31cm long including the later T-bar.
The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
