Gold Full Hunter
£1,600.00
An early 20th Century Swiss lever in a gold full hunter case. Nickelled 17 jewel three quarter plate keyless movement with going barrel. Plain cock with polished steel regulator, compensation balance with blue steel overcoil hairspring. Club foot lever escapement. Gold set screwed in jewelling. White enamel dial by Willis with subsidiary seconds, Roman numerals, blue steel hands. Plain 9 carat English full hunter case, signed gold cuvette.
In excellent overall condition. The use of a Willis dial and English case demonstrates the various ways in which watches were manufactured at this period. The shop has since changed use but Jays clock still hangs outside 366 Essex Road showing that Jays were established in 1862. See watch A10114 which is by the same retailer
