Antique English Silver Pocket Watch, Errington

Antique English silver pocket watch, Errington.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1901, together with a maker’s mark for Charles Errington.

The Errington Watch Company was set up in the 1880s and subsequently bought by the Coventry watch maker H Williamson around 1896. Charles Errington continued to work for the business until his retirement in 1910. The watch has a slight indentation to the side but nothing too serious.

The glass lens has three nibbles to the bevelled edge but they are small.

The dial is signed R H Halford & Sons, London, the original retailers of the watch. Halfords were listed as jewellers, watch makers and silversmiths with premises in Pall Mall. The dial is in good condition. Pin set hands.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
