Silver Buren Half Hunter Pocket Watch, 1924

Silver Buren half hunter pocket watch, 1924.

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement, signed Buren, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some unevenness.

The watch measures 47mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the case back for London (import mark), 1924 with a sponsor’s mark for William Sparrow. The case has engine turned detail to both the front and the back, and the front has enamel filled Roman numerals around a central lens. There is a small “ding” to the front of the watch, and some unevenness to the back.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover.

Inside, there is a glass lens which has a couple of small marks.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, ‘To The Admiralty, James Walker, London’. There is a small mark between 10 and 11 but otherwise it is in good condition with blued steel hands including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes in its original James Walker presentation box.
