A 1930s Silver Buren Pocket Watch from J G Graves

A 1930s silver Buren pocket watch from J G Graves, with chain.

The watch has a Buren stem-winding movement (19 35/12) which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1933 together with the maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. The back of the case has a couple of small indentations and a very slight unevenness but overall very acceptable.

The watch glass has the odd short scratch but nothing too detrimental at all.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, J G Graves of Sheffield. It is in lovely condition with blued steel Breguet style hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with a silver double albert with each chain measuring 24cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch comes in a vintage mahogany box, originally from Oertling of London, manufacturer of balances and scales.
