Rotherham & Sons silver pocket watch, 1929
Rotherham & Sons silver pocket watch, 1929.
The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged dust cover.
Rotherham & Sons evolved from S Vale who were established in 1747. To begin with, the company bought in ebauché (or blank movements) but in the latter part of the 19th Century they began to manufacture their own movements. By the late 1880s, they were considered to be an important Coventry watch manufacturer producing 100 units a week.
The company continued to grow and it is estimated that they manufactured some 600,000 movements between 1880 and 1930. While not as prolific as some of the big Swiss and American factories, such as Waltham who produced 26 million in the same period, they were still considered to be among the best English “volume” maker.
Rotherhams later diversified into cycle and automobile parts and watch manufacturing ceased in the 1930s so this particular watch was made in their penultimate year of watch production.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside the two case backs for Birmingham 1929, together with the Rotherham & Sons maker’s mark. The case is in lovely condition, as is the glass lens.
The dial is in good condition and the original unusual pin-set hour and minute hands are a really handsome feature of this watch.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
