Pocket Watch: Antique Hebdomas Patent Full Hunter Pocket Watch

The watch has a hand-winding movement which is working nicely… originally it was intended that the watch ran for eight days but now it runs and works nicely for five days, over which time it was around four minutes out. The movement is protected by an inner fitted cover which has various details of the movement. The watch measures 51mm diameter excluding the winding stem and loop. The case is gold plated and it is in good condition with engine turned detail to the front and back… the front also has the monogram initials of the original owner, DJE. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, there is an acrylic lens which is in good condition. The dial looks good to the naked eye but there are a few hairlines if viewed through a jeweller’s loupe. Original blued steel hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
