Antique J.W. BENSON Silver Open Face

Pocket Watch Birmingham 1928

 

A high quality J.W. Benson open face pocket watch hallmarked for Birmingham 1928 and made in Switzerland. This pocket watch has just been cleaned and serviced by my watchmaker and therefore is excellent condition!

 

The antique JW Benson silver pocket watch is complete with a silver chain.

 

Dial: The white enamel dial has black Arabic numerals, outer minute divisions and a subsidiary second’s dial at the six. The dial has blued hands. The dial is signed:" J.W. Benson, London, Swiss Made”

 

Movement: The English Benson anchor lever movement has 15 jewels. The movement is signed: "Swiss Made". The movement is in great working condition; however, we cannot guarantee accuracy for an antique pocket watch. “The watch showed accuracy to within 15 seconds over 24 hours and ran in excess of 35 hours from one full wind.”

 

Case: The pocket watch lies in a silver open face ALD case with a smooth finish. The inner side of the case and the inner side of the cuvette are both hallmarked for Birmingham 1928, stamped ALD and numbered: 561055.
