1930s Limit Full Hunter Pocket Watch

1920 - 1940
Description

1930s Limit full hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Limit, importers of watches into the UK, based in Oldham in Lancashire, UK. 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 manufacturer and supplier to various watch makers. The case is in good condition, just a general light marking, nothing serious at all.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover.

Inside, there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition (some natural light reflection showing in the main photo).

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

The piece consists of a gold plated case from the Dennison Watch Case Company, an enamel dial, and a glass lens, rendered in a polished gold colour with a white dial and black numerals. The watch exhibits a round polished case with a hinged front cover, a knurled winding crown with an attached suspension loop, black Roman numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial at the six o'clock position, spade hands, and the Limit signature on the dial. The watch measures 50 mm in diameter excluding the winding stem and loop. It is suitable for a gentleman's library or collection display.

FAQs

A full hunter pocket watch features a protective spring-hinged metal cover that completely closes over the dial, opening when the crown button is pressed. Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, this construction was designed to safeguard the glass dial crystal from damage during equestrian activities and outdoor wear.

Pocket watches from the 1930s frequently featured gold-plated, gold-filled, or solid gold cases housing precision Swiss or English mechanical movements. Dials were commonly made of fired white enamel or silvered metal, paired with painted Roman numerals and brass or blued steel hands.

Authentic timepieces generally display manufacturer hallmarks or stamps on the inner case back alongside maker branding on the dial face and internal movement plates. Authentic examples exhibit precise mechanical movement serial numbers and period-accurate typography.

Pocket watches make focused decorative accents when displayed under a small glass cloche or mounted on a dedicated brass watch stand on a desk or mantelpiece. They may also be worn as a traditional formal dress accessory paired with a waistcoat chain.

Keep the timepiece stored in a dry environment away from dampness and strong magnetic fields. Wind mechanical movements gently until light resistance is felt, and arrange for an experienced horologist to clean and re-oil the internal mechanism every three to five years.
