Antique Swiss Silver Pocket Watch and Chain

An antique Swiss silver pocket watch and chain.

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

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which is a 150 Yards Handicap First Prize inscription from Oughtrington Park.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are Swiss hallmarks inside both of the back covers. There is some unevenness to the hinged case back but other than that, the case is in good condition.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial has a few hairline cracks but they are very faint and barely visible to the naked eye. Pin-set hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes with a hallmarked silver single albert, 22cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. There are also two coins, a 1918 Malaysian 10 cents piece and an Argentinian 20 centavos coin 1915, which have been drilled and attached as fobs.

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