An Antique Silver Record Pocket Watch Originally Retailed by Thomas Russell & Son Liverpool.

An antique silver Record pocket watch originally retailed by 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 watches from Switzerland, such as this particular watch.

The watch has an unsigned Swiss 15-jewels stem-winding movement, identified as a Record.

The watch itself measures 50.8mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are import marks inside the case backs for London 1918 with the importers mark for Arthur George Rendell. The case is in nice condition with only the odd minor "ding".

The acrylic watch lens is in nice condition.

The white enamel dial is signed with the original retailers name Thomas Russell & Son, Liverpool and is in nice condition.

The watch has its original blued steel hands and a later blued steel sub second hand although antique.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.

Price includes worldwide postage.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).
