1930s Record Pocket Watch

1920 - 1940
Description

1930s Record pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss 7-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the name Record, and it is all 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, an English watch manufacturer and supplier to various watch makers. The case is in beautiful condition with nice crisp engine turned detail to the back. A previous owner’s initials are set within the cartouche.

The glass lens is in good condition, light marking if viewed closely.

The signed dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. There is a small patch of damage to the edge of the dial, next to the number 5, and a couple of almost invisible short hairlines by number 11.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

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 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

During the 1930s, Swiss pocket watches featured streamlined open-face cases, clear Arabic numerals, and distinct sub-seconds dials, reflecting the Art Deco emphasis on functional geometry and legibility.

These timepieces were commonly constructed with gold-plated or rolled gold brass cases, enamel or painted dials, heat-blued steel hands, and mechanical movements incorporating synthetic rubies as jewel bearings.

Authentic examples bear the makers signature on the dial, precise Swiss movement hallmarks stamped inside the case back, and period-appropriate typography for the numerals and track markers.

A pocket watch can be showcased on a dedicated glass-domed pocket watch stand, displayed atop a desk or bookshelf, or worn traditionally with a fob chain attached to a waistcoat.

Keep the watch free from moisture, strong magnetic fields, and sudden impacts. To maintain mechanical functionality, ensure the movement is professionally cleaned and lubricated by a horologist every three to five years.
