Chronometer grade Super Prestex pocket watch
Chronometer grade Super Prestex hunter pocket watch.
The watch has a chronometer grade stem-winding movement, 21 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 5 positions. Swan neck regulator, screw jewel sets and Breguet hairspring. The movement is signed Super Prestex… the name Prestex was registered in 1927 by Prestons SA (the Swiss arm of Prestons Ltd).
The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a beautifully engraved long service inscription from St Helens Smelting Company, 1949.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made by the Birmingham based Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific manufacturer of cases for various watch makers. Overall, the case is in good condition, just a slight indentation to the back.
The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, the acrylic lens is in lovely condition.
The dial is signed Prestons Ltd. It is in lovely condition with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track.
The antique jewellery and diamond specialist Prestons of Bolton opened in 1869 when it was founded by goldsmith James Preston. The business was later inherited by James’ niece, Gertrude Duckworth. It was the only jewellery store outside London to trade on four floors and featured the novelty of a customer lift. The company produced their own watches under the name Prestex.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
