Antique Silver Pocket Watch, 1922

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver pocket watch, 1922.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, believed to be by Wilhelm Ulrich of Frankfurt, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

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 1922 with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. The Dennison Watch Case Company manufactured cases for imported watch movements in an attempt to avoid hefty import tariffs on precious metals. The case is in good condition, one small “ding” to the bezel, and a hint of unevenness to the back.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, Chas Fish of Kingsland and Stoke Newington, a company still trading today. The dial is in beautiful condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes in a vintage Dennison cardboard box.

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.
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.
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.

An open-face pocket watch lacks a protective metal cover over the glass dial face, allowing the wearer to read the time directly. Popular throughout the early 20th century, these timepieces were favoured for their clear legibility and straightforward utility.

These watches typically featured cases made of solid sterling silver or nickel-silver, paired with a fired enamel dial face. Internal mechanisms consisted of brass and steel gear trains operated by a keyless lever movement.

Authentic pieces feature official hallmark stamps inside the case back indicating silver purity, city of origin, and date letters. Movements and cases frequently bear maker hallmarks or serial numbers matching manufacturer ledger records.

Pocket watches are commonly displayed on dedicated brass watch stands on desk surfaces or bookshelves. They can also be housed within glass cloches or glass-fronted shadow frames for protection and visual interest.

Store the item in a dry, temperature-controlled environment and avoid over-winding the mechanical mainspring. Clean the external silver casing with a soft microfibre cloth, keeping liquid polishing agents away from the movement and glass.
