1930s Sackville Pocket Watch, General Watch Co

1920 - 1940
Description

1930s Sackville pocket watch, General Watch Company.

The watch has a good quality 15-jewel (two adjustments) stem-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is rolled gold and is in good condition, just general light surface marking to the back, nothing serious at all. The inside of the case back is stamped CLB, a mark used by the General Watch Company.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed Sackville, a name registered by the General Watch Company in the early part of the 20th Century. It is in its original finish with a starburst pattern, original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. There is a shade or two of darkening which is usual with Sackville pocket watches.

The watch came to us with the single chain, 35cm including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this 1930s Swiss Pocket Watch to the 1930s.

This Art Deco pocket watch is from the 1930s, produced by the General Watch Company under the Sackville brand. The open-face timepiece has a rolled gold case and an acrylic lens, accompanied by an Albert watch chain measuring 35 cm including the T-bar and clasp. The cream dial features a starburst guilloche pattern, black Arabic numerals, a sub-seconds dial, an outer minute track, and blued steel hands. General light surface marking appears on the back of the case, alongside a shade or two of darkening on the dial. The piece also includes a stem-winding movement with fifteen jewels and two adjustments. Visible elements in the photograph not mentioned in the dealer text include a clear plastic display stand holding the watch upright, a cream-coloured surface underneath the items, and two stacked antique books in the background with embossed gold lettering and decorated spines. The watch functions as a collectible gentlemen's library accessory or a decorative display piece in a home study or office setting.

Timepieces from the 1930s frequently reflect Art Deco design influences, incorporating stylized Arabic numerals, clean open-face configurations, sub-second dials at six oclock, and textured dial surfaces such as guilloche pattern work.

Pocket watch cases from this era were typically manufactured using gold plate, rolled gold, or stainless steel to enclose precision Swiss mechanical lever or cylinder movements beneath clear glass crystals.

Authentic pieces generally display manufacturer hallmarks or case stamps on the interior case back, distinct brand or movement markings on the mechanism, and period-accurate typography across the dial face.

A classic pocket watch can be secured to a waistcoat or jacket buttonhole using an Albert chain with a T-bar, allowing the watch to rest securely inside a dedicated pocket for formal or tailored wear.

Preserve mechanical timepieces by storing them in a dry location away from strong magnetic fields, avoiding over-winding the crown, and having the movement professional serviced and lubricated every few years.
