1930s Consul Pocket Watch

1920 - 1940
Description

1930s Consul pocket watch.

The watch has a 15-jewel Swiss stem-winding movement, believed to be by Consul, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, an English case manufacturer and supplier to various watch makers. The case is in good condition, just general light surface marks mainly to the back, but nothing too detrimental at all.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. It appears that the watch was made as a private label piece and the dial would have been left blank for the original jeweller to add their name and address.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

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.

During the 1930s, Swiss watchmakers produced open-face pocket watches characterised by clean, legible dials, Roman or Arabic numerals, and slim profiles that reflected Art Deco design principles. These timepieces transitioned horology from elaborate Victorian aesthetics into streamlined, functional forms.

Mid-twentieth-century pocket watch cases were commonly fabricated from gold plate, rolled gold, or solid brass, encasing a mechanical movement with synthetic or glass crystals. Dials were frequently crafted from vitreous enamel or painted metal to provide contrast against dark numerals and hands.

Authenticity is identified through maker stamps on the movement, serial numbers inside the case back, and period-correct details such as a sub-seconds register or spade hands. Hallmarks, jewel counts, and markings such as Swiss Made near the base of the dial further confirm provenance and era.

A pocket watch can be worn traditionally in a waistcoat pocket attached via an Albert chain, or styled as a desktop accessory mounted on a dedicated acrylic or wooden display stand. It also serves as a focal piece within a curated shadow box or watch collection display cabinet.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years to clean and lubricate the internal movement. Moisture, extreme temperature changes, and magnetic fields must be avoided to prevent damage to the delicate balance spring and casing.
