Antique Silver English Lever Pocket Watch by Wright & Craighead

Antique silver English Lever pocket watch by Wright & Craighead.

The watch has a fully signed English lever stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Wright & Craighead. Thomas Wright and William Craighead were both excellent watch makers in their own rights, and Thomas Wright won several awards for his watch making, and also lectured on Watch Making Theory at the British Horological Institute.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and both of the case backs are hallmarked for London 1905 with a case maker's mark for Joseph Walton of Upper Charles Street in London. The case is in nice condition with only light surface marking from use.

The watch glass has general minor surface marking but it is not too detrimental at all.

The dial has been left blank for the retailer to add their details if desired. It is in lovely condition and has pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
