Antique Vertex Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique Vertex pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a good quality 17-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has screw-set jewels with gold chatons, swan neck micro regulator and Breguet hairspring for enhanced precision.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company. Dennisons was a Birmingham based manufacturer and supplier of cases to various watch makers. The front and sides of the case are in good condition, the screw-on case back has a gentle unevenness.

The glass lens has minor marking but is very acceptable.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a double albert, with each chain measuring 18cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
