Watch: Gents Antique Silver Arisco Trench Watch 1913

The watch has a Swiss 15 jewel hand-winding movement, 2 adjustments, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the later winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London 1913 together 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 good condition, just the odd light mark but nothing serious at all. The glass lens has light marking but is very acceptable. The signed dial has a faint hairline crack but otherwise is in good condition. Originally, the hands and numerals would have had painted detail but this has been removed over the years. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage.
