Full Hunter Pocket Watch from Thomas Russell & Son

A full hunter pocket watch from Thomas Russell & Son.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Thomas Russell & Son, Liverpool.

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 measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. It has a very good quality gold filled case, originally guaranteed to wear for 20 years, and it is in beautiful condition. The back of the watch has later engraving with the owner's initials and the year 1979.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.

The signed dial is in super condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
