Pocket Watch: 1940s Bravingtons Half Hunter Pocket Watch

The watch has a Swiss 16-jewel stem-winding movement, identified as by Thommen Revue for Bravingtons, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Renown name, a brand name registered by Bravingtons in 1935 for Swiss watches to be sold under their name. The movement is protected by an inner cover. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company. Dennisons was an English company who manufactured and supplied cases for many watch makers, often in an effort to avoid import duty on precious metals. The case is in super condition. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, the lens is in super condition, as is the signed dial. Original hands, including the special half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed. The watch comes in its original Bravingtons presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
