[Brand Introduction] J.W. Benson

This is an open-face pocket watch with a sterling silver case, and the case engravings indicate it was made in 1887.
Benson watches with a script logo are highly sought after, and this is a classic, simple yet substantial British timepiece.The elegant Roman numerals and vividly heat-blued steel hands continue to tick accurately and gracefully, nearly 140 years later.
Weighing 136g, it is remarkably heavy for its size, allowing you to feel the luxurious use of high-quality silver from that era in your palm.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance wheel swings well, and it is ticking energetically.
