Pocket Watch: Antique 1920s Swiss Pocket Watch & Chain

The watch has a nice quality Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made in England by the Eclipse Watch Case Company. The case has light surface marking and a minor “ding” to the back but overall it is in nice condition for a 1920s piece. The acrylic lens is in nice condition with only minor marking. The dial has a couple of faint hairline cracks between 5 and 12 o’clock. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. The watch comes with a Victorian single chain of unusual design, 32cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The T-bar is stamped ‘Pat Feb 20 1872’. 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.
