1914 Waltham Bond St Silver Hunter Pocket Watch

1912 silver Waltham Bond St full hunter pocket watch for Stewart Dawson & Co Ltd.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, Bond Street grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed with the Waltham name and the serial number 18,455,522 dates it back to around 1912. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a small patch of unevenness.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks for Birmingham 1914 with a case maker's mark for Aaron Dennison, a prolific manufacturer of cases for various watch makers. There is some gentle unevenness to the case but overall the condition is very acceptable for such an early piece. Some rubbing to the engine turned detail commensurate with its age.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, the lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed both with the Waltham name and also Stewart Dawson & Co Ltd. It is in very nice condition and has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

Stewart Dawson & Co Ltd was a wholesale and retail business established in 1869. The business moved to London in 1897, and subsequently set up branches in Melbourne and Sydney. In 1931 the business was sold to R H O Hills of Blackpool who continued to trade until their closure in 1935.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
