Antique Silver Lagaros Half Hunter Pocket Watch

Antique silver Lagaros half hunter pocket watch by the Record Watch Company.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Lagaros and Record Watch Company, who registered the Lagaros brand name. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside Birmingham 1920 together with a case maker's mark for Aaron Dennison, a prolific maker of cases for various watch makers. There are a few little dings but overall not too bad for a watch which is nearly 100 years old.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is a glass lens which is in good condition, just a little light marking at certain angles.

The dial is the real star of this watch because unusually the numbers are placed vertically, not following the curve of the dial, it gives the watch a most attractive appearance. Original blued steel hands including the special half hunter hour hand so the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
