Silver 1923 Buren pocket watch and chain
Silver 1923 Buren pocket watch and chain.
The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, signed Buren, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 45mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop so smaller than a standard 50mm pocket watch. The case is silver and there are British hallmarks inside both of the case backs for London (import mark), 1923, with a case maker’s mark for William Sparrow (he worked for H Williamson, importer of Buren watches, and was in charge of hallmarking imported precious metal cases). The case is in lovely condition.
The acrylic lens is in lovely condition.
The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, George White of Christchurch.
George Thomas White originally traded from Taunton in Somerset, England but later emigrated and was later listed as a watchmaker, antique jewellery manufacturer and importer trading from 208 Colombo Street, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Therefore, it seems the watch was manufactured in Switzerland, imported into the UK and then wholesaled to Mr White in New Zealand. The dial is in super condition.
The watch comes with a single chain, 19cm long including the T-bar and the clasp, stamped ‘Sterling’ and ‘925’.
The watch and chain will come in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
Please contact us for international shipping prices.
The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
