1920s Silver Satisfaction Pocket Watch and Chain

1920s silver Satisfaction pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name Satisfaction, a brand name registered by the manufacturer L Tièche-Gammeter in 1909. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has light scratching.

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 1929, together with a maker’s mark for the Birmingham case maker Eclipse.

The case is in good condition, just the odd small indentation but nothing too serious at all. Nice crisp engine turned detail to the back, with a vacant cartouche to the centre.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands.

The watch comes with an antique silver albertina chain.

The chain is unhallmarked but is probably Continental silver as the design was very popular for albertinas made around the turn of the century.

The albertina weighs 12.1 grams in total and measures 23cm including the T-bar and clasp.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
