Antique Silver Full Hunter Pocket Watch and Chain

Antique silver full hunter pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, from the Swiss manufacturer Dimier Freres, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name of a Dover wholesaler or importer. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and unusually there are two sets of hallmarks inside the hinged case backs, one set for Birmingham 1928 and one set for Dublin 1928. The case maker was Aaron Dennison, a Birmingham based case maker who supplied various watch makers in the UK. Therefore we can assume that the Birmingham hallmarks are the originals and that the watch was then sent to Dublin where it was hallmarked again upon entering Ireland.

The case is in good condition. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is a glass lens which is in good condition.

The dial is signed Kingsmith, this would have probably been the retailer as it was usual for their name to be added to the dial.

The watch comes with a single silver chain 29cm long, hallmarked for 1909.

The watch and chain will come in a new presentation box.
