1900 - 1920
Description

1920s Minerva stem winding pocket watch.

The watch has a high grade 15-jewel (4 adjustments), Swiss stem-winding movement with swan neck regulator, which is working well. The movement is signed with the Minerva logo although the piece was made as a private piece for a Newcastle jeweller, sold under the brand name Westgate Lever.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

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. The case is in lovely condition.

The glass lens has some marking.

The white enamel dial is signed with the original retailer’s name, Street & Co, Newcastle Upon Tyne and the brand name Westgate Lever. The dial is in nice condition with original blued steel hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

FAQs

An open face stem winding pocket watch is a mechanical timepiece without a protective metal cover over the crystal, allowing the dial to be read directly. Developed in the nineteenth century to replace key-wound movements, stem-winding mechanisms allow the user to wind the mainspring and set the time using a crown positioned at the top of the case.

During the 1920s, pocket watch cases were commonly made from solid gold, rolled gold, gold plate, silver, or nickel alloys. Dials were predominantly constructed from fired white enamel or stamped metal, featuring black enamel or printed numerals and steel hands.

Authentic timepieces from this era usually display Swiss movement marks or maker stamps inside the case back or on the movement plate. Dials frequently include the retailer name alongside Swiss Made printed at the base, and cases feature serial numbers and purity hallmarks matching regional standards.

Pocket watches are frequently displayed on glass dome stands, brass pocket watch hiders, or desktop display frames. Placing a watch stand on a desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf adds an element of historical horology to modern interior styling.

Keep mechanical pocket watches away from water, extreme humidity, and strong magnetic fields. Wind the movement gently until natural resistance is felt without forcing the crown, and have a qualified horologist service the internal gears every three to five years.
