1930s Junghans Pocket Watch, B Barnett, Hull

1930s Junghans pocket watch, B Barnett, Hull.

The watch has a jewelled stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is stamped Junghans and it has the calibre number J38... this calibre was in production from 1928. It is all protected by an inner hinged cover stamped 'ancre 10 rubis'.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it has a vacant cartouche to the centre of the hinged case back. The case has a little unevenness to the back and a couple of “dings”.

The later acrylic lens is in nice condition.

The white enamel dial is signed with the retailer's name, B Barnett Ltd of Hull. Barnetts were listed as goldsmiths with premises in Hull and also in High Holborn in London. The dial has a faint hairline crack to the outer edge between 4 & 6 o'clock but otherwise it is in nice condition. Pin-set blued steel hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
