1928 Rotherhams silver hunter pocket watch


1928 Rotherhams silver full hunter pocket watch and chain.
Rotherhams evolved from S Vale who were established in 1747. To begin with, the company bought in ebauché (or blank movements) but in the latter part of the 19th Century they began to manufacture their own movements. By the late 1880s, they were considered to be an important Coventry watch manufacturer producing 100 units a week.
The company continued to grow and it is estimated that they manufactured some 600,000 movements between 1880 and 1930. While not as prolific as some of the big Swiss and American factories, such as Waltham who produced 26 million in the same period, they were still considered to be among the best English “volume” maker.
Rotherhams later diversified into cycle and automobile parts and watch manufacturing ceased in the 1930s.
This particular watch has a ¾ plate movement which is working nicely and keeping good time. The movement is signed Rotherhams London.
The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for Birmingham 1928 with a maker’s mark for Rotherham & Son. The case is in beautiful condition with just light surface marks from use.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is an acrylic lens which is in lovely condition. Original glass lenses were often replaced with acrylic if they broke as it is a much more durable material.
The signed dial is in beautiful condition with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
There is also an antique silver double albert, with each chain measuring 20cm long including the T-bar and the clasp.
The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
