1930s Vertex Revue Half Hunter Pocket Watch

1920 - 1940
Description

1930s Vertex Revue half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a couple of small indentations.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 14ct gold plated and it is in good condition, just a very small patch of rubbing to the front, and a small indentation and a hint of unevenness to the back of the watch. The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by enamel filled Roman numerals.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover, which opens a little further than the original 90 degrees.

Inside, the acrylic lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

FAQs

A half hunter, or demi-hunter, pocket watch features a protective front cover with a small central glass crystal aperture, allowing the wearer to read the time using outer cover markings without opening the case.

During the 1930s, pocket watch cases were commonly constructed from solid gold, gold-filled metal, rolled gold, or sterling silver, often featuring enamel detailing around the chapter ring.

Authentic pieces generally display maker hallmarks or manufacturer stamps inside the case back, alongside branded dial typography and period-correct mechanical movements produced by Revue Thommen for Vertex.

An antique pocket watch can be worn traditionally attached to an Albert chain across a waistcoat or lapel, or presented on a dedicated watch stand as a decorative desk piece.

Mechanical timepieces require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years to clean the movement, refresh lubricants, and ensure accurate timekeeping.
