Pocket Watch: Antique Silver Revue Prima Pocket Watch & Chain

The watch has a good quality Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement, with snail cam regulator, which is working nicely. The movement has been identified as by Revue. It is all protected by an inner hinged cover which has a later inscription, “Martin love always Sara”. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1927 with a case maker’s mark for the Birmingham manufacturer Dennison. Dennisons supplied cases for various watch makers. The case back is in good condition, just some light rubbing to the engine turned detail on the back and a gentle indentation, nothing too serious at all. The cartouche to the centre has the engraved initials Wm. The acrylic lens is in nice condition, just the odd small mark, again nothing too detrimental… some white reflection showing in the photos. The dial is signed with the brand name Prima and is in nice condition. An assembly company would have bought in movements from Revue and cases from Dennisons, all to be assembled and sold under this brand name. Original blued steel hands. The watch comes with an antique silver pocket watch chain and Masonic silver and enamel fob. The chain measures 35cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The T-bar is hallmarked for 1892. Each of the links on the graduated chain has the lion silver mark. The heavy fob was awarded in 1929 by the Raob and has an inscription to the reverse. The chain and fob weigh 52g. The watch and chain come in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
