Antique 1919 Silver Syren Pocket Watch & Chain.

Antique 1919 silver Syren pocket watch & chain.

The watch has a nicely jewelled stem-winding movement, signed Syren, which is working well. Syren was a brand name used by an importer of watches manufactured by Record and Revue (as the one we have here).

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and has London import marks for 1919 with the importers mark for William Henry Sparrow. The case has an engine turned back with a vacant cartouche. The case has some mild bruising from use but otherwise it is in nice condition.

The glass lens has minor marking from use although very acceptable for a 1919 piece.

The white enamel dial is in nice condition.

The watch has its original blued steel hands.

The watch comes on a vintage silver albert chain with fob. Each of the links on the chain have the lion passant mark and the clasp is stamped .925 (sterling) the T bar is not hallmarked although it has tested positive for silver.

The chain measures 28 cm long including the T bar and clasp.

The fob has Birmingham hallmarks for 1931.

The chain and fob weigh 25 grams in total.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
