Pocket Watch : 1930s Sackville Pocket Watch, General Watch Company

The watch has a good quality 15-jewel (two adjustments) stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is rolled gold and is in good condition, just general light surface marking to the back, nothing serious at all. The inside of the case back is stamped CLB, a mark used by the General Watch Company. The acrylic lens is in good condition. The dial is signed Sackville, a name registered by the General Watch Company in the early part of the 20th Century. It is in its original finish with a starburst pattern, original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. There is a shade or two of darkening which is usual with Sackville pocket watches. The watch came to us with the single chain, 35cm including the T-bar and the clasp. The watch and chain come in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
