An Antique Swiss Full Hunter Pocket Watch

An antique Swiss full hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case was made by the American Watch Case Company, actually based in Toronto. It is their Empress model which is gold filled and was originally guaranteed to wear 10 years. It is in good condition with just light surface marks, nothing too detrimental at all.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens. The original glasses lenses were often replaced with acrylic when they broke as it is much more durable, and it looks so similar to glass that it is often difficult to tell the difference.

The white enamel dial has a little light marking but nothing serious. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
