Antique Silver Waltham Pocket Watch & Chain

Antique silver Waltham pocket watch & chain.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, grade 620, which is working nicely. This is a good quality movement with beautifully patterned plates, screw set jewels and a Church 1892 patent regulator. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 15,508,784 dates it back to 1907. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case backs for Birmingham 1908. The front and sides of the case are in lovely condition. The hinged case back, with engine turned detail, has some gentle unevenness around the edges. There is a central cartouche with engraved initials although quite rubbed now.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The dial has a hairline crack running from the subsidiary seconds dial to number 2 but it is faint.

The watch comes with a single antique silver watch chain, 36cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Each of the links has the silver lion mark. The T-bar is hallmarked for Birmingham 1899. The clasp is hallmarked but the date letter is illegible. Also included is a later 1950s silver medal awarded for the Hurling Championships in Killinthomas (in the Republic of Ireland).

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
