Description

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely.

Thomas Russell & Son was a well respected business having achieved a Royal Warrant as watch and clock makers to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

In 1881 the company started importing movements from Switzerland, such as the one we have in this particular watch.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and is in good condition with just surface marks from use, mainly to the back.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The signed dial has a faint hairline crack, most of which is only visible through a magnifying loupe.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
