Silver Record Dreadnought ‘Trenton’ Pocket Watch & Chain

Silver Record Dreadnought ‘Trenton’ pocket watch & chain.

The watch has a 15 jewel stem-winding movement (three adjustments) which is working nicely. The movement is unsigned but has been identified as by Record Dreadnought, it is the model often seen in their Trenton watches. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some short scratches where a tool appears to have slipped in the past.

The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Birmingham 1934, along with the special mark for the Coronation of King George VI. The maker’s mark is for Aaron Dennison. Dennisons was a Birmingham based case maker who supplied cases for various watch makers. The case is in lovely condition.

The glass lens has general minor marks but is very acceptable.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, Harris Stone of Sheffield. The dial is in very nice condition and has original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a single chain, 32cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Each of the links has the silver lion mark. There is also an enamel and silver fob from The St Johns Ambulance Association, presented in 1905.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
