Pocket Watch: Antique Silver ‘Cabar’ Buren Pocket Watch

The watch has a 16-jewel stem-winding movement, identified as by Buren, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has various details of the movement. The watch measures 53mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver and there are Continental hallmarks inside the case back. The case is in good condition, just a little unevenness to the back. Originally there would have been a rose gold wash to some of the case but this has worn off over the years. The acrylic lens has light marking, but very acceptable. The dial is signed Cabar, either the name of the jeweller or a private label brand name. Handsome blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers with 24 hour numerals. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
