Thomas Russell Premier Full Hunter Pocket Watch

Thomas Russell Premier full hunter pocket watch.

Thomas Russell & Son was a well respected business having achieved a Royal Warrant as watch and clock makers to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

In 1881 the company started importing movements from Switzerland, such as the one we have in this particular watch, a stem-winding seven jewel movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Thomas Russell & Son, Liverpool, Premier and it also has the Tempus Fugit and wings markings to the cogs. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated 'Thomas Russell' model from the Illinois Watch Case Company. The case is in good condition, just light surface marking. The case has stepped edges and a detailed centre which make this a very handsome piece.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside there is a glass lens which is in lovely condition.

The signed is in lovely condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
