Antique 1920s Paxus Pocket Watch

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique 1920s Paxus pocket watch.

The watch has a good quality 15 jewel Swiss stem-winding movement which is working well. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some light surface scratching where it has been opened over time.

The movement is signed Paxus, a brand name registered by A. Reymond SA of Tramelan, Switzerland in 1920.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Star model made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific supplier of cases to various watch makers. The case is in nice condition.

The glass lens is in nice condition with just a couple of small marks, nothing too detrimental at all.

The white enamel dial is in nice condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this 1920s Swiss Pocket Watch to the 1920s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Pocket watches from the 1920s often feature Art Deco influences, characterized by clean dial typography, open-face construction, and refined gold or gold-plated casings housing precise Swiss mechanical movements.

Cases were commonly fabricated from solid gold, gold-filled plate, or nickel alloys, while dials were executed in fired enamel or painted metal paired with blued steel hands and glass crystals.

Authenticity is confirmed by inspecting the movement maker marks, serial numbers, case hallmarks or gold-filled stamps, dial alignment, and original subsidiary dial features under magnification.

An antique pocket watch can be worn traditionally with a waistcoat and chain, or styled modernly on a dedicated brass display stand placed on a desk, bookshelf, or side table.

Store the watch in a dry environment away from magnetic fields, wind the movement gently without forcing the crown, and have the internal mechanism serviced by a horologist every three to five years.
