1930s Tellus Pocket Watch and Chain

1930s Tellus pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a 15-jewel Cortebert 540B stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Tellus, a brand name registered by Wilhelm Ulrich of Tellus Clock Association of German Watchmakers in 1925. The company registered as a “trader of watches” which suggests they imported watches to be sold under the Tellus name. The brand name was registered in 1925. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it is in good condition, just light surface marking to the bezel.

The acrylic lens is in good condition (some natural light reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial looks good to the naked eye. If viewed very closely, there are three short faint hairlines. Original shaped hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track with blue 24 hour numerals.

The watch comes with a single chain, 29cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
