Pocket Watch: 1920s Pioneer Open Faced Pocket Watch & Chain

The watch has a signed Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some light surface marking and a couple of small “dings” from use. The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model which was made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, supplier of cases to various watch makers. The case has light surface marking but overall it is in nice condition for a 1920s piece. Monogrammed initials to the central cartouche on the back. The acrylic lens is in nice condition. The white enamel dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands. The watch comes with a rolled gold double chain, with each chain measuring 23cm long. The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
