Unusual 1930s Selex Pocket Watch / Clock, Goole

1930s Selex pocket watch / clock, Goole.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, signed Selex, which is working nicely. The brand name Selex was registered by Dimier Freres in 1925.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which has a beautifully engraved inscription, 'Presented to J C Knowles by the Staff of the Goole District on his retirement, June 1933, PA Co'.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific manufacturer of cases for various watch makers. Unusually, the case back hinges from the top so that the watch can be propped up to act as a clock. The case has a couple of shallow indentations to the back but overall is in good condition.

The watch glass is in good condition as is the dial which has its original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
