Description

Antique silver fob watch and albert chain.
The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and has hallmarks inside both of the case backs for Chester 1910 with a sponsor’s mark for Arthur Rendell. In 1907, an act came into force which meant that all imported watches had to be assayed in a UK assay office and marked with British import hallmarks. For this, a sponsor's mark was required. In this particular case, Arthur Rendell was an employee, and probably in charge, of the department that handled imported watches at a company called Pringles, the UK's largest wholesalers of jewellery, silverware, clocks and watches, so it was deemed relevant to use his initials.
The case is beautifully chased case, and it is in super condition.
The acrylic lens is in good condition.
The dial looks lovely to the naked eye, there is a very short faint hairline just underneath the sub seconds dial. Original blued steel hands.
The watch comes with a silver rope twist chain, 24cm long including the clasp and the T-bar which is hallmarked for 1911. Also included is a silver locket fob hallmarked for 1907.
The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
