Antique Northern Goldsmiths Admiralty Pocket Watch

Antique Northern Goldsmiths ‘Admiralty’ pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement, identified as by Buren, which is working nicely. The movement is signed Northern Goldsmiths Co, Newcastle. The watch would have been supplied by Buren to be sold as a private label piece under the name Northern Goldsmiths.

The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is engraved, ‘TCAA, Annual Sports 1927, awarded to competitor gaining most points, won by H Gray’. This inner cover has some unevenness around its perimeter.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific English manufacturer of cases for various watch makers. The case has a little unevenness to the back but overall is in good condition.

The glass lens is in good condition.

The dial is signed Northern Goldsmiths, Newcastle, Admiralty. It is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
