Description

Antique 1920s Buren pocket watch.

The watch has a good quality 15-jewel stem-winding movement, signed Buren, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and was made for Buren by the Keystone Watch Case Company. The case is in good condition, just a slight hint of unevenness to the hinged case back, but nothing too detrimental at all. The back cover has scratching to the inside.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The dial is in beautiful condition, as is the lens and the unusually shaped hands are a very handsome feature.

The watch comes in an antique presentation box from a Swansea jeweller.

FAQs

Buren Watch Company was established in Switzerland in the late 19th century and became renowned for producing reliable, high-quality mechanical movements and pocket watches throughout the Art Deco era.

Pocket watches from this period were typically constructed using base metal cases with gold plating, enamel dials featuring painted Roman or Arabic numerals, and tempered steel hands enclosing intricate brass mechanical movements.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks inside the case back, inspecting the movement for maker signatures and serial numbers, and checking for period-correct enamel dial manufacturing techniques.

An antique timepiece can be styled within a study or library setting by placing it on a specialist desk stand, inside a glass cloche, or displayed alongside other desk accessories on a mantelpiece.

Mechanical watches require regular professional servicing every few to several years, protection from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations, and careful manual winding without over-tensioning the mainspring.
