1920s Silver Nerny Pocket Watch and Chain

1920s silver Nerny pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, probably a Fontainemelon ebauche, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. Unusually for a watch of this design and era, the case is 800 silver and there are Continental hallmarks inside the hinged case back. The case has a couple of small “dings” to the side, the largest being 3mm, but overall it is in lovely condition.

The watch glass has small marks, nothing too serious.

The dial is signed with the name Nerny, a name first registered in 1918. The dial is in its original finish with a sun burst effect to the centre, blued steel hands and an outer 24 hour dial. There is some age related darkening to the finish.

The watch comes with a single silver chain, 26cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

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