A distinct ladies sterling silver and enamel watch from the Edwardian era, circa 1913! This restored stylish antique watch is made of sterling silver and features a striped inlay of white enamel along the front of case. The watch case is a charming navette shape with a subtle dome profile, tapering and melding on the wrist nicely. The easy to read face is white and displays black numerals along with a red numeral '12', there is 'second' gold dots and diamond-shaped accents placed at every numeral. There is a fissure across the dial, (8 to 2) which is unobtrusive and seen at certain angles. A sterling silver spring-loaded bar style band attaches to the watch, the expandable band allowing a versatile fit. The watch closes securely with an integrated tongue connection, and there is a safety chain for extra security. A figure eight safety connection appears to be missing, albeit does not impose any risk to the closure.
The watch has recently had a full service, incuding a movement o'haul, new handmade stem, new glass and general polish to the case and band. Hallmarks are placed on the inside of case with a London import mark (the inverted Omega on a crossed oval cartouche) and the date letter "S" denoting year 1913. As well the makers stamp 'GS' which is that of George Stockwell, or Stockwell & Co Ltd - a prominent Birmingham, then later London silver company. A regal gold tone Swiss-made mechanical movement makes up the rest of watch. A wind and subtle jiggle is needed to kick start the cogs before wearing.
In working order and ready to wear. A one-of-a-kind timepiece, for the lady with distinct taste! Due to the age of the watch we cannot guarantee the working ability.
