Antique 1908 Silver Pocket Watch and Chain

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique 1908 silver pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely, and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover. This cover has the initials CK & Co. There is some unevenness to this inner cover.

The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London (import mark), 1908. The case is in good condition, just a little unevenness to the side, with nice crisp engine turned detail to the back with a vacant cartouche to the centre.

The glass lens is in good condition with just very minor marking.

The dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a hairline crack but it is faint.

The watch comes with a silver double albert with each chain measuring 23cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The T-bar and one of the clasps are hallmarked for 1904, with a mark for the Birmingham silversmith Thomas & Marshall. The other clasp is a 1923 replacement. The chain weighs 32g.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), Edwardian pocket watches represent a transitional period in horology where precision mechanical engineering combined with refined silver casing before wristwatches became widespread.

Pocket watches from this era typically feature a solid silver or sterling silver case housing a hand-wound mechanical movement, paired with a fired enamel dial, painted Roman numerals, and a silver Albert chain.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmarks stamped inside the case back indicating metal purity, assay office, and date letter, alongside hand-finished enamel dials and keylessless or key-wind mechanical movements.

An antique silver pocket watch can be displayed on a watch stand placed on a mantelpiece or desk, or worn traditionally with a waistcoat or jacket pocket using its silver chain.

Store the timepiece in a dry, low-humidity environment, polish the exterior silver casing gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and have the internal movement serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
