This pocket watch has clear hallmarks for Chester 1883

The watch runs but has not been cleaned or serviced and is sold with no warranty.

Movement – the gilt 3/4 plate movement has a lever escapement with a compensated balance 

The movement is numbered 59463. The movement is in 99% mint condition – a superb example

Case – the movement comes in an English silver two piece case. The bezel hinges open and the movement hinges out from within at the 9 position.. The case is in 85% mint condition – the back cover has a milled design and some (idiot) has taken a watch knife to this, thinking it opens from the back and created a patch of light scratches and a deeper ridge. This is the reason it is being listed as un restored.

Dial – the white enamel has a full set of blue steel hands and is numbered 59463. The dial was once signed “Sir John Bennett” and the signature is almost invisible. The dial is in 85% mint condition – 3 hairlines

The watch is stem wound / pin set

The watch measures 54mm wide x 16mm deep

The watch has a bevelled mineral glass
