Pocket Watch: Antique New York Standard Pocket Watch

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed New York Standard Watch Co USA. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The bi-metal case back is stamped inside the case back with the name Silverode, an alloy often used in watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silveroid and Silverine. The decorated bezel is also Silverode, while the centre section is gold plated. The case is in good condition, just a couple of minor small indentations to the back. The thick glass lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
