Antique Silver English Half Hunter Pocket Watch, 1894

19th century
Description

Antique silver English half hunter pocket watch, 1894.

The watch has an English ¾ plate stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Joseph Hart, which we assume to be the Saffron Waldon based jeweller and watch maker. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for London 1894, together with a case maker’s mark for the London watch case maker and silversmith William Matthews. The case is in lovely condition for such an early piece, just light surface marking to the back.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside, there is a glass lens which is in lovely condition.

The dial is in good condition, just some faint hairlines running from the centre. Pin-set hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Silver Half Hunter Pocket Watch to the 1890s.

FAQs

A half hunter pocket watch, also known as a demi-hunter, features a protective outer case with a central glass window allowing the wearer to read the time without opening the front cover.

Late Victorian pocket watches were commonly crafted using sterling silver or solid gold cases, featuring enamel dials, steel hands, and precision mechanical movements.

Authentic 19th-century English pieces feature hallmarks stamped on the inside of the case back, indicating the silver purity, assay office location, date letter, and makers mark.

An antique pocket watch can be worn traditionally with a waistcoat chain, styled as a distinctive accessory attached to a suit lapel, or displayed on a dedicated watch stand.

Silver cases should be polished gently with a soft microfibre cloth to remove oxidisation, while mechanical movements require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years.
