Silver Pocket Watch and Chain, Harris Stone, Leeds

A 1940s silver Harris Stone pocket watch with chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a little marking but nothing too serious.

The watch itself measures approximately 50mm excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1946, with a maker’s mark for the English watch case maker Aaron Dennison. The outer case is in good condition and the engine turned detail to the case back is still nice and crisp.

The lens is in good condition.

The white enamel dial is in beautiful condition. It is signed Harris Stone, Leeds and this would have been the original retailer. Blued steel Breguet style hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with a silver double watch chain… the hallmarks are a little difficult to make out but the piece probably dates back to the late 1800s. Each chain measures 22cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The fob is hallmarked for Birmingham 1898.

The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
