Description

Gents antique silver Marvin trench watch, 1915.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement, identified as by Marvin, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 32.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for London 1915 together with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell. From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.

The case is in good condition. Some evidence of an Bonklip strap to the back of the watch. Later winding crown.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a chip just above the centre of the dial, and a hairline crack between 11 and 3.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration
