Gents 9ct gold Thomas Russell wrist watch, 1953 gents  mens mans %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A gents 9 carat gold Thomas Russell wrist watch.

The watch has a good quality signed 21-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely.

The watch itself measures 33.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case back for Glasgow (import mark), 1953, together with a Swiss Poinçon de Maître or maker’s mark for Andre Brauchi for Orac SA of Yvonand. The case is in lovely condition and the shaped lugs are a very handsome feature.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial is in its original finished and is signed with the Thomas Russell & Son signature.

The company name of Thomas Russell & Son was established in 1859 when Thomas Russell (who was listed as a watchmaker as early as 1848) handed over the control of the business to Thomas Robert Russell and Alfred Holgate Russell. The company was very well respected and successful and they earned a Royal Warrant, ‘Makers to Queen Victoria’… they continued to benefit from this Warrant even after it ceased upon Victoria’s death in 1901 although its continued use was only tolerated for a short while.

After the partnership split, Thomas Russell continued as the proprietor of the Russell Watch & Chronometer Manufactury and Alfred Russell continued as Thomas Russell & Son. Thomas Russell & Son achieved a Royal Warrant as makers to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. In 1881 they started importing watches from Switzerland.

By 1938, the firm had become Thomas Russell & Son Watch Co Ltd.

The dial has its original dauphine shaped hands, centre seconds hand and outer minute markers. There is a little marking but nothing too detrimental at all.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
