A 1920s Stem Winding Half Hunter Pocket Watch.

A 1920s stem winding half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement with 15 jewels, micro regulator and jewelled pallets ,which is working well. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a scuff to the outer edge.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the Illinois Watch Case Company. The case has crisp engine turned decoration to the front and back and a coin edge on the sides. The case has light surface marking from use but overall it is in nice condition for a 1920s piece. The front cover has a small lens surrounded by blue enamel filled Roman numerals.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside the glass lens is in nice condition.

The white enamel dial has a faint hairline crack to the edge at 2 o'clock although hardly noticeable and a faint surface scratch between 11 & 12 o'clock. Note the special hour hand for half hunter watches, so that the hands can be distinguished between when the front cover is closed.

The watch has its original blued steel hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Price includes worldwide postage.
