Description

Antique John Elkan half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, identified as by Revue, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner cover.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company. It is in lovely condition, just one little indentation where the loop has pressed into the case.

The winding crown pushes in to release the front cover. Inside, there is an acrylic lens which has light marking but is very acceptable (some white reflection showing in the photo).

The dial is signed John Elkan Ltd, London, the original retailer of the watch. John Elkan was a retail jeweller who specialised in jewellery, gold and silver goods. It also has the name “Colonial”, a brand name given by John Elkan.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Antique Half Hunter Pocket Watch to the 1920s.

A half hunter pocket watch features a case with a glass or open centre panel on the front cover, allowing the user to read the time without fully opening the case.

These watches typically featured gold, silver, or rolled gold cases housing intricate mechanical key-wound or keyless lever movements crafted from brass, steel, and ruby jewels.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps on the inner case, verifying the makers signature on the dial or movement, and assessing the wear patterns and craftsmanship of the mechanical parts.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated watch stand, within a glass cloche on a mantelpiece, or styled inside a vintage glass-topped display case.

Preservation involves keeping the watch away from moisture and magnetic fields, storing it in a dry environment, and having it professionally serviced by a horologist every few years.
