Description

Antique silver half hunter pocket watch, 1909.
The watch has an English stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed W Bryer & Sons, 53 & 54 Barbican, London.
W Bryer & Sons were a firm of gold refiners. The business is said to have been established in 1815, probably by a Thomas Sirrell, and was located at 54 Barbican. In the early 1870s Sirrell’s firm, by then at 53-4 Barbican, was taken over by John Bryer, a former watchmaker.
Bryer was listed as a gold and silver refiner and smelter. He had a chronometer-making business in the adjoining house. After John Bryer’s death in 1894 at the age of 87, his business was carried on by William, Thomas and Henry Bryer.
The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 52mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and is hallmarked for London 1909, with a maker’s mark for the Coventry silversmith and case maker Robert Pike. The case is in lovely condition.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover.
Inside, the glass lens is in lovely condition.
The dial is signed W Bryer & Sons, London. It is in lovely condition with pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. The hour hand is the special half hunter version so that the time can be read when the front cover is closed.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
