Pocket Watch: 1920s Minerva Stem Winding Pocket Watch

The watch has a high grade 15-jewel (4 adjustments), Swiss stem-winding movement with swan neck regulator, which is working well. The movement is signed with the Minerva logo although the piece was made as a private piece for a Newcastle jeweller, sold under the brand name Westgate Lever. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and is the Star model made by the Dennison Watch Case Company. The case is in lovely condition. The glass lens has some marking. The white enamel dial is signed with the original retailer’s name, Street & Co, Newcastle Upon Tyne and the brand name Westgate Lever. The dial is in nice condition with original blued steel hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
