Pocket Watch: Antique 1920s Limit Pocket Watch

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Limit name. Hirst Brothers were founded in Oldham, UK in 1912. They imported Swiss watches and branded them with the brand name Limit, a name first registered in 1917. The movement is protected by an inner hinged dust cover. The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and has the logo Hb for Hirst Brothers. The case has light surface marking, a couple of small marks where the loop has pushed into the back and a little rubbing on the back but overall it is in nice condition. The acrylic lens is in good condition (some white reflection showing in the photos). The signed dial has a very faint hairline crack to the centre although hardly noticeable but otherwise it is in nice condition. Original gold hands and a blued steel sub seconds hand. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage. Please contact us for international shipping prices (Ddu, details in delivery information section below).
