Pocket Watch: Antique Silver Half Hunter Pocket Watch 1919

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. When winding the movement, the crown needs to be simultaneously pushed in. The movement is protected by a silver inner hinged cover. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks on all three covers for London (import mark) 1919 with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell. From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items, which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail. The case is in lovely condition, just a couple of small marks but nothing serious at all. Dark blue enamel filled numerals to the front cover. The winding stem pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, there is a glass lens which is in lovely condition. The gold plated bezel is a period replacement. The dial is in lovely condition and it has the special half hunter hour hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
