Pocket Watch: Antique Silver Pocket Watch, Lancashire Watch Co 1896

The watch has an English stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 54.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem so slightly bigger than a standard 50mm pocket watch. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Chester 1896 with a maker’s mark TPH for Thomas Hewitt of the Lancashire Watch Company. The case is in good condition, just general light surface marks but nothing serious. The glass lens is in good condition. The dial has one short faint hairline underneath the subsidiary seconds dial but otherwise is in good condition. One of the hands is a period replacement. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
