Antique Silver Waltham Half Hunter Pocket Watch, Police Interest

Antique silver Waltham half hunter pocket watch, 1921.

The watch has a 7-jewel grade 610 stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 24,006,970 which dates it back to around 1921.

The movement is protected by an inner cover which has an inscription, ‘Canning Town Police, Billiard Handicap, 1925-1926, Special Prize won by P S Jones’.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for Birmingham 1924, with a maker’s mark for the English case maker, Aaron Dennison. The company supplied cases to various watch makers including Waltham UK. The case is in good condition, just a minor hint of unevenness to the back.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover. Inside, there is an acrylic lens which is in lovely condition. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
