Antique English Silver Hunter Chrono Pocket Watch

Antique English silver centre seconds chronograph full hunter pocket watch.

The watch has an English ¾ plate stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is unsigned but probably came from one of the Coventry makers. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the three covers for Chester 1897 with a maker's mark of CH, widely believed to be that of Charles Horner. The case is in good condition for such an early piece, there is a smile shaped surface mark to the back but overall it is very acceptable.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover. Inside, there is an glass lens which is in good condition.

The dial has the number 25092, the same number is also on the movement. The dial is in good condition and it has the centre seconds hand which is stopped and started by way of the sliding button to the side of the watch (it is very stiff to avoid accidentally stopping the watch in a pocket).

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
