Silver Weir & Sons Goliath Pocket Watch / Travel Clock

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 66mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel with a gold coloured highlight around the edge of the bezel. The case is in good condition, just light surface marking but nothing serious at all. The thick glass lens is in good condition. The dial is signed with the name of the original retailers, Weir & Sons, Dublin. The company was established in 1869 and is still trading today with fourth and fifth generation family members. The dial has an old repair on number VIII but otherwise is in good condition with original hands. The watch is housed in a silver case, hallmarked for London 1909, with a maker’s mark for the Newcastle silversmiths Reid & Sons. Nice Edwardian decoration to the front of the case, including hunting horns. The original owner’s initials are at the bottom of the case front. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
