Watch: Gents Antique Silver Wrist Watch 1915

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is believed to be from Buser Frères & Cie Sa, a family owned business whose origins began in 1892 in Niederdorf, Switzerland. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has light surface scratches and a couple of small indentations. The watch measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the articulated lugs. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Glasgow (import mark) 1915. The front of the case is in good condition. The hinged case back, with ornate initials, has a bruise towards the top hinge. The lens is in good condition, just one very small mark but barely noticeable to the naked eye. The dial has its original blued steel hands, red number 12 and a subsidiary seconds dial. There are some hairline cracks and nibbles but right on the edge, and difficult to see with the naked eye. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
