Description

Antique silver cased travel clock, 1898.

The clock contains a large Doxa pocket watch which has a stem-winding movement, signed Doxa, which is working nicely. The movement is visible through an inspection lens, and there is also an inner hinged dust cover.

The watch measures 65mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel with rose gold highlights. It is in good condition with just light surface marks, nothing serious at all.

The glass lens has a 2cm scratch but it is light, and you have to look quite carefully to see it.

The dial is in lovely condition with original pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a beautiful silver and Moroccan leather case. The silver is hallmarked for Birmingham 1898 with a maker’s mark for the Birmingham silversmith Henry Matthews.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1890s.
