Description

Gents J W Benson silver wrist watch, 1936.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 32mm diameter excluding the later winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the hinged case back for Birmingham 1936 together with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, the prolific watch case maker based in Birmingham. The case is in good condition, just general light surface marks, nothing too serious at all.

The glass lens has light scratches, and a chip underneath the edge, but not too detrimental at all.

The signed dial has some hairlines over number 9 but they are faint. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Silver Wristwatch to the 1930s.

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

FAQs

Watches from the 1930s typically feature minimalist dials, clear Arabic numerals, small seconds sub-dials, and circular or tonneau cases reflecting early twentieth-century design transitions.

Traditional timepieces from this period commonly utilised sterling silver, gold, stainless steel cases paired with enamel or metal dials, and genuine leather straps.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps on the interior case back, inspecting the mechanical movement for maker signatures, and verifying the dial and hands match the period.

A vintage timepiece serves as an elegant, understated accessory that pairs well with tailored formal attire or smart-casual wardrobe staples.

Preservation requires avoiding exposure to moisture, keeping mechanical movements serviced by a professional horologist every few years, and storing them in a dry environment.
