Record Dreadnought Half Hunter Pocket Watch and Chain

Record Dreadnought half hunter pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a good quality 15-jewel hand-winding movement, signed Record Watch Company, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some unevenness.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star case from the Dennison Watch Case Company, a Birmingham based case manufacturer and supplier to various watch manufacturers. The case is in lovely condition, just the odd minor mark but nothing serious at all.

The front cover has a small central lens surrounded by enamel filled Roman numerals. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

Inside, there is an acrylic lens which is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in lovely condition (just a little of the writing has faded), with original hands including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes with a double albert, with each chain measuring 21cm long. There is also a gold plated locket which is stamped with the initials W&HCo for Wightman & Hough. There is some wear to the back of the locket.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
