1920s/30s Thomas Russell Pocket Watch.

1920s/30s Thomas Russell pocket watch.

The watch has a 10 jewel stem-winding movement which is working well. The movement is signed Thomas Russell & Son, Liverpool, Swiss made.

Thomas Russell & Son was a well respected business having achieved a Royal Warrant as watch and clock makers to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

In 1881 the company started importing movements from Switzerland, such as the one we have in this particular watch.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Star model made by the Dennison watch Case company. There is some rubbing but the base metal is brass so very similar in colour.

The glass lens has minor marking from use.

The signed white enamel dial is in nice condition. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
