An antique open-face silver pocket watch with a high-quality English movement, made by R.J. Barfoot and hallmarked for London in 1905. This watch comes with a silver gilt watch chain.
Dial: The white enamel dial has black Roman numerals with outer minute divisions. The dial has blued hands and a subsidiary second’s dial at the six. There is a hairline on the dial. The protective glass is in great condition.
Movement: The high-quality English movement is in great working condition; however, we cannot guarantee accuracy for an antique pocket watch. The movement is ¾ protected by a plate. The plate is engraved: “R.J. Barfoot & Co, North Street, Brighton” and numbered 14936.
