Pocket Watch: Antique English Silver Half Hunter Pocket Watch

The watch has an English stem-winding movement, most likely from the Coventry watch makers, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the backs covers for London 1891, with a maker’s mark for the Coventry case maker Arthur James Walker. The case is in lovely condition. The front has blue enamel filled Roman numerals surrounding a small central lens. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, there is a glass lens which is in lovely condition. The dial is in very nice condition with pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. The watch retains its half hunter hour hand so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).
