Antique Silver Half Hunter Pocket Watch and Chain

An antique boxed silver half hunter pocket watch with chain.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely and the time keeping is good. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver (2oz case) and it is hallmarked inside all three covers for Birmingham 1919 with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. The case is in good condition with just a little unevenness to the back. The small plastic lens to the front of the watch is in good condition. It is surrounded by Roman numerals which would originally have been filled in with an enamel or paint.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, the plastic lens is in good condition. The dial has a very faint hairline crack running from number 4 to the sub seconds dial but it is very difficult to see with the naked eye. Blued steel hands including a special half hunter hour hand so the owner can decipher between hour and minute hand when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes with a silver chain which measures 30cm long. The chain is a late Victorian piece so a little earlier than the watch. Each of the links has the silver lion passant mark.

The watch and chain come in a vintage presentation box from William Greenwood and Sons of Leeds and Huddersfield.
