Dimensions:
This is a highly detailed George III silver pair cased verge pocket watch with a masonic dial, made in Birmingham, England in 1815. This pocket watch comes with its original winding key and is in excellent condition for its age, making it an ideal gift or masonic collector’s item!
Dial:-
The dial has black Arabic numerals, outer minute divisions and golden spade hands. Its polychrome painted dial is a rare feature in pocket watches, adding a touch of uniqueness to this historical timepiece. The centre of the dial is adorned with various hand painted masonic emblems including, amongst others, a checkerboard floor, an eye, a sun, moon and stars, a key, a ladder, a beehive and an ark*.
Movement:-
The unsigned fusee movement has a sprung three-arm flat steel balance, pierced engraved balance cock and round cylindrical pillars. It is numbered 465.
The movement is in good working condition but due to its antique nature, we cannot guarantee precise accuracy.
Case:-
This pocket watch lies in matching silver pair cases. The inside of the case is hallmarked for Birmingham 1815.
*These symbols were carefully chosen to represent the moral and philosophical teachings of Freemasonry. Each symbol held its own significance within the masonic tradition, conveying lessons and principles to Freemasons.
