1930s Craftsman Gold Plated Pocket Watch

1930s Craftsman gold plated pocket watch.

The watch has a good quality Swiss stem-winding movement which is working well. It has been identified as a , Cyma calibre 999. It would have been bought in to be assembled and sold under the name of Craftsman. This brand name was registered by at least five companies in the first half of the 20th Century.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Star model made by the Dennison Watch Case Company. Dennison made cases for various watch producers who imported Swiss movements, such as the one we have here, and then cased them in readiness for eventual retail.

The front of the case is in good condition. The back has a few little bruises.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The white enamel dial is signed Craftsman. The dial looks good to the naked eye. If viewed closely then you can see a faint hairline running between the centre of the sub seconds dial and 6 o'clock. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
