1892 British antique John Bennett pocket watch Silver side hunter case works well
SKU: 174171325
This is a 1892 sterling silver hunter case pocket watch.
The case, dial and movement are all engraved with John Bennett's name.
It has a plain design with a mirror finish, but the monogram of the first owner's initials is beautiful.
John Bennett stopped building his own machines relatively early on and started importing Swiss machines.
Since it is a manufacturer that has become a manufacturer, watches using British machines are rare.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
We hope this lovely antique watch will add some color to your day!
