Gents Silver Wrist Watch, 1924

Gents silver wrist watch, 1924.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for London (import mark), 1924 with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell.

From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.

The case is in lovely condition with just light surface marking, nothing serious at all.

The lens is in good condition too, a couple of small marks which are barely noticeable to the naked eye.

The dial has Breguet style hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track. There are three hairline cracks radiating out from the centre of the dial but they are quite difficult to see with the naked eye.

A new leather strap has been fitted although the original leather strap with silver clasp will be included in case the new owner prefers it.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
