Pocket Watch: Antique Henry Capt Silver Fob Watch

The watch has a good quality Swiss hand-winding movement, signed Henry Capt, Geneve, which is working nicely. Henry Capt was a highly prestigious and historic Swiss watchmaker, jeweller, and master of automata based in Geneva. He also had a showroom in London. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has details of Henry Capt, including his showroom address of 151 Regent Street. The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is stamped inside the case back with the wording, ‘Fine Silver’. Fine silver is a precious metal that contains 99.9% pure silver. The case back also carries the logo for Henry Capt. The case is in good condition, just some unevenness to the back of the watch. It also has the original owner’s initials. The glass lens is in good condition. The signed dial looks good to the naked eye… there are a couple of very faint hairlines if viewed through a jeweller’s loupe. Original pin-set hands. 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).
