A 1920s Swiss Open Faced Pocket Watch

A 1920s Swiss open faced pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has an attractive damascened finish, an added expense at the time of manufacture for something which would not be seen very often. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover, it has some scratches from where it has been opened in the past.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made in England by the Dennison Watch Case Company… Swiss movements were often imported into the UK to be cased and sold on for retail. Dennison supplied cases for many Swiss watches. The case has minor surface marking but nothing serious at all.

The watch glass is in good order.

The double sunk white enamel dial is in good condition, just some marking to the edge by number 4. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
