The watch has a signed stem-winding movement, 15 jewels, 3 adjustments, which is working nicely. It is all protected by an inner hinged cover which is engraved with the wording, ‘Harold, from Dad, 1906’.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Birmingham 1903 with a case maker’s mark for Aaron Dennison, an English case manufacturer and supplier to various watch makers. The case has some minor marks but overall is in good condition.
The glass lens is in good condition.
The 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.
