Description

Antique Helvetia half hunter pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement, probably by Helvetia, 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 the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, supplier of cases to various watch manufacturers. The case is in good condition, just a hint of unevenness to the back but nothing serious.

The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, W Hinds Ltd, London. The dial is in lovely condition and has blued steel hands, including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

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.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

FAQs

A half hunter pocket watch features a protective outer case with a glass or open centre window, allowing the user to read the time without opening the cover.

Traditional pocket watches were constructed using gold, silver, rolled gold, or base metals for the case, with enamel dials and steel hands.

Authentic pieces can be identified by hallmarks on the interior cases, the presence of mechanical movements, and maker signatures on the dial or movement plate.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated pocket watch stand or framed within a shadow box on a desk or mantelpiece.

Mechanical watches require professional servicing every few years, gentle winding, and storage in a dry environment away from moisture and magnetic fields.
