Antique Iwc Half Hunter Pocket Watch

Antique IWC half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, unsigned but identified as an IWC calibre 53 savonnette, which is working nicely. The movement has the serial number 121091 which dates it back to around 1894. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The case measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated. There is the odd mark and a little wear around the edge of the back but overall very acceptable. The serial number inside the case back 139144 dates it back to 1893-1896 which ties in very nicely with the date of the movement.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition.

The dial, left blank for the original retailer to add their name and address if required, is in lovely condition. The watch has the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed. The minute hand is a later replacement.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
