The sterling silver case has an inner and outer rear cover and bears the Chester hallmarks for 1882 The rear is plain with a blank cartouche in the middle. The makers initials are T.H. The rear cover opens via the lug at 1 o'clock. The case is stamped with the number 32930 the same as the movement and dial number the case hinges are both 9 ct gold with no damage or repairs

The movement is a key wound English three quarter plate fusee table roller lever. The watch is wound from the rear (anticlockwise), the hands are also set from the rear. Regulation is via a lever on the balance cock. The movement is stamped with the number 32930.

There is a button, on the side of the case, at 2 o'clock which starts and stops the movement, thereby giving the watch a basic 'stop watch' function.
The start/stop button is working fine if a little stiff

The watch case is still in excellent condition with a real feel of quality
