Antique Ww1 Era Pocket Watch

Antique WW1 era pocket watch.

The watch has a high grade stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is engraved with the wording, “From Geoff & Tom, October 31st 1916”. This inner cover has been well polished and some gold plate has worn off.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is stamped with the maker’s mark GBMM for Manufacture Genevoise de Boites de Montres. The hinged back has a handsome sunburst pattern with a vacant cartouche. There is the odd small mark or “ding” to the case, and a little unevenness to the back, but overall it is in good condition for a piece of its age.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial has an interesting appearance with the black chunky Roman numerals and the red inner 24 hour numbers. Pin-set hands. There is a hairline crack running down from number 12 but it is faint.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
