Antique Silver Pocket Watch, 1925

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver pocket watch, 1925.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement 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 1925 with a case maker’s mark for the English watch case maker Aaron Dennison. The Dennison Watch Case Company often supplied cases for Swiss movements so as to avoid expensive import duty on precious metals. The case is in good condition, just a little gentle unevenness to the back, and an indentation to the side mostly hidden by the case backs.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is in super condition. Original handsomely shaped hands in a blued steel finish.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

This open-face pocket watch dates from the Art Deco period of the 1920s and is styled in the classic gentleman's library tradition. Constructed from silver with a white enamel dial, glass lens, and blued steel hands, the piece features black Arabic numerals, a sub-seconds dial, and a fluted brass-tone winding crown with a matching top loop. Hallmarks for Birmingham 1925 and the maker Aaron Dennison appear inside the case backs, alongside an inner hinged cover protecting the Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement. Gentle unevenness marks the silver back, and an indentation sits on the side near the edge. The watch has a diameter of 4.9 cm excluding the winding stem and loop. Collectors can display this timepiece on a desk or shelf, or keep it inside its presentation box for safe storage. The clean white enamel dial ensures clear legibility of the hours, minutes, and seconds subdivisions. This pocket watch brings period utility and traditional horological craftsmanship into a modern study or living space.

FAQs

During the 1920s Art Deco era, pocket watches featured clear typography, bold Arabic numerals, and streamlined open-face cases while retaining precision Swiss mechanical movements.

These timepieces typically feature solid silver or silver-plated cases, white enamel dials, steel hands, and gilt winding crowns enclosing mechanical lever movements.

Authentic timepieces generally feature hallmark stamps inside the case back, maker marks, serial numbers on the movement, and hand-applied enamel dials without modern print marks.

Pocket watches are frequently displayed on a glass watch dome stand, placed within a shadow box frame, or arranged alongside leather-bound books on a desk or bookshelf.

Store the timepiece in a dry environment away from magnetic fields, avoid over-winding the spring, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a horologist every three to five years.
