Antique Thomas Russell Full Hunter Pocket Watch.

Antique Thomas Russell full hunter pocket watch.

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, a stem-winding 15-jewel movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Russells Ltd, 18 Church St, Liverpool, and has 'The Time O Day' trade mark. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has light surface scratches to the inside of the cover.

The watch measures 50.8mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the Amrok Watch Case Company, New York, USA The case has light surface marking from use but overall it is in nice condition for a 1920s piece.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which has light surface marking from use.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
