Antique Silver Thomas Russell Full Hunter Pocket Watch

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique silver Thomas Russell full hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name, Thos Russell & Son, Liverpool. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The watch has a heavy 2oz case and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for London (import mark) 1917, with an importer’s mark for William Henry Sparrow.

During the early 20th century, Thomas Russell & Son evolved from being a strict manufacturer into a major high-street retailer and importer. To keep up with demand, they regularly sourced parts from massive other watch manufacturers.

The case is in lovely condition and it has the stepped detail which is typical of a Thomas Russell case.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover.

The acrylic lens is in good condition (some natural light reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial is in super condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Silver Full Hunter Pocket Watch to the 1910s.

A full hunter pocket watch features a outer protective metal cover that completely encloses the glass dial and face, opening on a spring hinge when the stem mechanism is depressed.

Traditional construction typically comprises sterling or continental silver for the outer casing, white fired enamel dials, blued steel hands, and brass or steel mechanical clockwork internal components.

Authentic pieces are identified by hallmarking stamps inside the metal casing, signatures printed on the dial or engraved on the movement plates, and distinct serial numbers.

Pocket watches can be styled on a mantlepiece or bookshelf using dedicated glass cloches, brass watch stands, or shallow shadow frames alongside other historical horological objects.

Keep the casing stored in dry environments away from humidity, wipe metal gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and seek a qualified horologist for internal mechanical servicing or oiling.
