Antique Silver Büren Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique silver Büren pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Büren stem-winding movement with patterned plates, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London (import mark) 1911 with a sponsor's mark for William Sparrow of H Willliamson and Büren. The case has engine turned detail to the back and a central vacant cartouche. There is some unevenness to the back.

The watch glass has a couple of short scratches but not too detrimental at all.

The dial is signed with the original retailer's name, Sanders, London. There is a short hairline crack but it is faint.

The watch comes with a single albert, 20cm long including the T-bar an the clasp. The chain is not hallmarked but tests as being silver, probably Continental.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
