Waltham Silver Half Hunter Pocket Watch and Accoutrements

A Waltham half hunter pocket watch, chain and vesta.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 24,729,992 dates it back to 1924. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is silver and is hallmarked for Birmingham 1926, with a case maker' mark for the Dennison Watch Case Company. The company supplied cases to many watch manufacturers but had a particularly close business relationship with Waltham. The slight discrepancy in dates is perfectly normal as the movements and cases came from different factories.

The front of the watch has enamel filled Roman numerals surrounding a small lens.

The case has a couple of fairly small indentations to the back and a little unevenness but overall the condition is very acceptable for a piece from the 1920s. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside, the glass lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is also in very nice condition. Blued steel hands, including the special half hunter hour hand, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with a silver double albert with each chain measuring 26cm long, and a silver fob with a 1914 inscription to the reverse. There is also a silver vesta case which is hallmarked for 1901. There is some unevenness to the sides of the vesta.

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