Pocket Watch: Antique Waltham Marquis Pocket Watch 1912

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, Marquis grade, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 18,850,432 which dates it back to 1912. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company, a Birmingham based watch case maker and supplier to Waltham UK. The case is in good condition, just a hint of unevenness to the back but nothing too serious. The glass lens has general light marks but is very acceptable. The signed dial is in lovely condition. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. The watch comes with a short chain with a decorative orb to thread through the button hole. 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.
