Antique Silver Pocket Watch, Kings Lynn

Antique silver pocket watch, Kings Lynn.

The watch has a stem-winding ¾ plate movement which is working nicely. The movement carries the wording, ‘Exam’d by W J King of Kings Lynn’. William Johnson King was a notable historic watchmaker, jeweller, and clockmaker who operated in King's Lynn, Norfolk during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He had premises at various addresses in the High Street in Kings Lynn. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 935 silver, so slightly purer than sterling, and it has Continental silver marks inside both of the case backs.. The case is in good condition, just a little unevenness to the back and the odd minor mark.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is in lovely condition with pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
