Description

Antique silver pocket watch centre seconds chronograph, Bloomsbury School.
The watch has a Swiss three quarter plate stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.
The watch measures 54mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside both of the back covers for London (import mark), 1918, together with a sponsor’s mark for George Stockwell.
From 1 June 1907, Stockwells acted as assay agents, facilitating the import into Britain of foreign gold and silver items which had to be assayed and hallmarked in a UK assay office before being released for retail.
The case is in good condition, just a small ding between the hinges at the bottom of the watch.
The back of the watch is engraved, ‘W A Everitt, Bloomsbury Boys’ School, 1922-23’.
The London school, under the Patronage of the Duke of Bedford, had 400 pupils. On Monday mornings, the boys were encouraged to repeat the text they had heard in church the previous day, naming the place of worship and the Minister, all to ensure that they listened and paid attention.
The glass lens is in lovely condition.
The dial is also in very nice condition with pin-set gold hands and blued steel chronograph hand. The chrono hand is operated by way of the sliding button on the side of the case. When the chronograph feature is switched off, the watch movement also stops ticking… this was how it was originally designed.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
NB: Where we have specified a year of manufacture, this is based on hallmarks or serial numbers with published databases. The 'date of manufacture' given by SellingAntiques will vary slightly as the website only works to decades, not specific years.

For other countries, The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs.

If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
