Silver Waltham Full Hunter Pocket Watch and Chain

An antique silver Waltham full hunter pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a key-winding movement which is working nicely and the time keeping is good to within around two minutes over 24 hours. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. A winding key is included. The movement is signed Waltham, Mass and it has the serial number 2,118,561 which dates it back to 1883.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1883 with a maker’s mark for Alfred Bedford, manager of the Waltham Watch Company office in London. There is engine turned detail to both the front and back of the case with a vacant cartouche to the front. There are a few little spot indentations.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The white enamel dial has two very faint hairline cracks.

The watch comes with a silver watch chain, which is a few years later than the pocket watch but sits very nicely with it. It measures 33cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Each of the graduated links on the chain has the lion passant silver mark. The chain weighs 57g.
