1920's British Antique JW Benson Watch Cushion Case in good working order
SKU: 202311083902
JWBenson is a watch manufacturer with a long history, founded in 1847, but after the factory was destroyed in World War I, it became a high-end jewelry shop and made watches using movements from Swiss manufacturers.
This is a fairly old type men's wristwatch from the 1920s.
Since it is a small cushion case, I think even women can use it.
The indexes on the dial are embossed, giving it a luxurious feel.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swings well and is moving smoothly and energetically.
We hope this wonderful vintage watch will add color to your everyday!
