Antique Silver Delmar Pocket Watch from Tacy Watch Co

Antique silver Delmar pocket watch from Tacy Watch Co.

The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has screw set jewels, Breguet hairspring for enhanced precision and swan neck regulator. The movement is signed Delmar, a brand name registered by Tavannes / Cyma (Tacy).

The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1928 with a maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison. Dennisons was a Birmingham case manufacturer who supplied various watch makers. The case has some unevenness to the back but otherwise is in good condition.

The movement hinges out of the front of the case and it has a screw down bezel, an early attempt at producing a waterproof watch. However, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, Fehrenbach Bros, Strood, watchmakers and jewellers. The photo shows the shop in 1915. The business name was later changed to Fernbanks. The photo is not included, it was a copied from the Medway Council website.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
