Ww1 9ct Rose Gold Trench Watch

An antique 9 carat rose gold trench watch from the WW1 era.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is ticking away nicely and the time keeping is good to within around three to four minutes over 24 hours.

The watch measures 31.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is 9 carat rose gold and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for London (import mark), 1916 with an importer’s mark for Arthur Rendell for Robert Pringle & Sons of 40/42 Clerkenwell Road, London, one of the UK's largest wholesalers of jewellery, silverware, clocks and watches at the time. The case has a few little indentations but overall is in good condition for such an early piece.

The two tone dial has real charm and is very easy to read. There are a couple of faint hairline cracks but they are quite difficult to see with the naked eye. As so often happens, the infill has come out of the hands.

A new black leather strap has been fitted.
