Gents Antique 9ct Gold Wrist Watch, 1919

Gents antique 9ct gold wrist watch, 1919.

The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement, identified as by the ebauche (blank movement) manufacturer Fonetainemelon, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the fixed lugs and winding crown. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for Birmingham 1919 with a maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. Dennisons was a Birmingham based company who supplied cases to various watch makers.

The case is in good condition for such an early piece. Slight unevenness to the case back but nothing serious. The bottom lug has been re-soldered on at some stage and is now strong and stable. The back of the watch has elaborate initials and the date 19/4/21.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The dial has a short faint hairline between 10 and 11 but it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
