British antique Russell pocket watch, gold plated half hunter case, in good working order
SKU: 202504055242
We will be introducing antique pocket watches from Russell, a prestigious British watchmaker founded in 1848 and which was the official supplier to the British Royal Family during the reign of Queen Victoria.
This is a gold-plated pocket watch that is believed to date to the 1920s.
The Half Hunter (Demi Hunter) is popular because you can check the time even with the lid closed.
The case is made by Denison, a high-end British case manufacturer.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one!
