Description

1920s Limit pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement, with 13 jewels, which is working well. The movement was made by G Thommen for Limit, importers of watches into the UK, based in Oldham, Lancashire, UK. The movement is protected by an inner cover which has some scratching from where it has been opened in the past.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel. There is some unevenness to the hinged case back.

The glass lens has a couple of minor marks and some nibbling around the edge but not too detrimental.

The signed dial is in good condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.

The watch comes with single chain, 31cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. An 1897 three pence coin has been drilled to make a fob, and the one side of the coin has been rubbed back and the name Jonnie added.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
