Antique Silver Buren Pocket Watch, 1907

Antique silver Buren pocket watch, 1907.

The watch has a Swiss key-wound movement, identified as a Buren, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by a fitted cover and also an inner hinged silver cover which has some surface scratches where keys have slipped.

The watch measures 55mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London (import mark), 1907, importer's mark for William Sparrow. The case is in good condition just a little unevenness to the hinged case back.

The watch glass has little marks across it but is very acceptable.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, H Levy & Co of Manchester. There are a few hairline cracks to the dial but they are very faint and difficult to see with the naked eye. There is a mark on the subsidiary seconds dial.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
