The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

Antique 1920s Swiss pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a Swiss 13-jewel stem-winding movement which is working well.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the Illinois Watch Case Company. Both the bezel and the back are a screw fitting, a nice sign of quality. The case is in nice condition with only light surface marking, nothing serious at all.

The glass lens is in good condition, as is the dial with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes with a Churchill style watch chain, 26cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
