Description

A 1920s Lip pocket watch.

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

The watch measures 51.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The nickel coloured case is case is stamped as being Silvernus which was a copper and nickel alloy. Case makers gave the alloy their own names such as Silveroid and Silverine. Silvernus was a name used by Thomas Russell which suggests that this movement and case did not originally start life together. There is a little unevenness to the back of the watch but overall the case is in good condition for a 1920s piece.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in super condition and the shaped hands are a handsome feature. There is also a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track with 24 hour dial.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
