It was listed by The Vintage Wrist Watch Company. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1920s.
The watch case is in the shape of a vesta case, and it measures approximately 5cm x 3cm when closed. The cover with the thumb placement slides out slightly and then can be flipped up to reveal the inner watch, which subsequently hinges out. The case is silver and there are hallmarks for Glasgow 1929, together with an importer's mark which appears to be Rotherham & Sons. There are some surface marks to the outside of the case but overall the condition is good for its age. The lens is also in good condition.
The dial has a good Art Deco style and the condition is reasonably good with just some discolouration.
