This is a lovely 50mm diameter Sterling Silver pocket watch. It is fully working and keeping very good time, to within a minute or two a day. Unusually this watch will run for two days on a single wind, and still keep time. As can be seen from the photographs, the watch is in superb condition, with only the slightest evidence of use and wear. The crystal is clear and free from chips, cracks or scuffs.

Beneath is the white enamelled face with Roman Numerals and a sub-seconds dial. The face is free from hairlines and any obvious damage. When the front bezel is open three tiny chips become visible around the very edge, - one of which has had a painted repair.

I do not think that these affect the overall apearance of the watch. The Sterling Silver case and case-back are in excellent condition with virtually no sign of pocket-wear. There is just one dent to the milled edge of the watch where it looks as though someone has tried to force the watch open. This does not really affect the appearance of the watch as can be seen from some of the photos. As can also be seen from some of the photographs, the inside of the case-back and dust-cover are Hallmarked.

Alongside the Lion Mark for Sterling Silver is the Anchor Mark for Birmingham and the Date-Letter (n) for 1887-8. The back also bears the letters J. W showing that the case was made by Joseph Walton of London.

The back and the Swiss movement also bear the letters (GT) indicating that the movement was made by Gedeon Thommen of Waldenbourg, Switzerland. The watch is ticking away happily and keeping very good time. In all, it is a very good looking example of a late Victorian Pocket Watch. The watch will be posted by a Tracked Service.
