9ct Gold J.W. Benson Pocket Watch London 1929


A fine Quality 9ct Gold Pocket Watch by famous watch maker J.W.Benson of London
In excellent condition ,full Hallmarks London 1929 ,with Roman numeral and blue steel hand with small sweep second hand dial , winds from the top button , movement swiss made 15 jewel fully working and keeping good time , with inner dust cover , Case marks ALD for Dennison of London, comes in original Benson watch case ,just a couple very tiny dings on the back, hardly noticeable, but mention for accuracy
Founded in 1847 by James William Benson and Samuel Suckley Benson, the concern was dually one of Victorian London’s most prestigious retail jewellers and also, quite remarkably, a manufacturer of its own watch movements. It had prestigious premises at 43 Cornhill and 33 Ludgate Hill, London. The JW Benson brand had endorsements by an array of Kings & Queens together with notables of the day.
Like so many once great names, JW Benson was eventually bought out by one of its competitors, in this instance Garrard, the crown jewellers.
The fact that the once famous JW Benson name has now faded into obscurity with the man in the street doesn’t override the reality that these were extremely well made and very stylish watches that,when new were up there with the brands that collectors lust for today.
