Pocket Watch : Antique Silver Coventry Pocket Watch & Chain

The watch has a key-wound movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed Flinn & Co, Coventry… a prominent 19th and early 20th-century watch manufacturer, goldsmith, and jeweller founded by John Flinn, the company was a significant part of Coventry's watch trade. The movement hinges out the front of the case. The watch measures 42mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop so smaller than a standard 50mm pocket watch. The case is silver and has hallmarks for Birmingham 1902 with a case maker’s mark AJW, possibly the Birminghan case maker Arthur James Walker. The case is in lovely condition, nice crisp engine turned detail to the back of the watch. The acrylic lens is in good condition, as is the dial. The watch comes with a silver double chain, with each chain measuring 22cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. The chain weighs 19g. 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.
