Ladies antique 18 carat gold LeCoultre pocket watch
Here is a magnificent antique pocket watch made by LeCoultre in the late 19th Century.
Prior to joining Edmund Jaeger in the early 1900's, LeCoultre had already made a name for themselves as one of the leading watchmakers in Switzerland, and with a pocket watch as beautiful both inside and out such as this one, it is easy to see why.
Made in 18 carat yellow gold, the case measures 26.7mm across by 39mm to the top of the bow, and even after more than 130 years have passed since being made, the dial is still as easy to read and in the same pristine condition as when it was made. Set with very elegant hands that point to the numerals set against the white dial, turning the pocket watch over reveals a beautiful design. The gold has been given a soft finish to it that adds to the charm and elegance of the pocket watch and is typical of high end work of the time.
Inside the movement has been serviced and comes with our twelve month warranty, and the crown at the top is not just for winding, as once the small pin above the 11 is pressed, turning the crown will then set the time.
This is such an elegant example of the early work from LeCoultre, and will no doubt always be loved and admired.

Rare 18 carat gold antique bezel wind pendant watch made in the 1870’s
Here is a very rare bezel wind antique ball pendant watch that is truly amazing from inside and out.
Made in the 1870's this pendant watch separates itself from other ball pendant watches for three very special reasons.
Firstly it is made in 18 carat gold, while many of these pendant watches were made in silver. However the second and most important difference and feature of this one over so many others, is the absence of a crown to wind it.
To wind the movement, one simply rotates it at the centre. This is such a clever and ingenious design of this pendant watch that showcases the quality of the piece even further. To set the time, there is a discreet pin which is on the side, which once pressed and combined with turning the centre of the watch, this will engage and turn the hands to the desired time. With the Swiss made movement having just come back from a full service, it runs well and comes with our twelve month warranty.
And finally the third important feature of this, is that this very piece is featured on page 131 of “How the watch was worn: A fashion for 500 years” by Genevieve Cummins making this an even more exciting piece of history that is actually featured in her fantastic book.
Measuring 23.8mm across by 31.5mm or 35mm to the top of the bail, this is as exciting as it is extraordinary.

WWII Jaeger LeCoultre British military GSTP pocket watch
Here is not only a vintage pocket watch that was made by one of the finest watchmaking companies in the world, Jaeger LeCoultre, but one that is also made all the more amazing by the fact that this pocket watch was issued and used during World War II.
Fitted in a chrome plated case that measures 51.5mm across, it has been kept all original and unpolished and shows the various scratches and wear on the case as a testament to its history and where it has been. The case back is stamped with the British broad arrow and GS/TP which stood for General Service Trade Pattern, although many people (incorrectly) call them General Service Time Piece. Either way, there is no denying that this is a great looking pocket watch that looks and feels amazing to hold.
When restoring this pocket watch, we also chose to keep the dial 100% original without re-luming the numbers or replacing the hands, and combined with the look of the case, this pocket watch is all the more better for it. This pocket watch is so full of character and will remain such an incredible talking point.
Inside is the magnificent 15 jewelled manual wind Jaeger LeCoultre calibre 467/2 movement that has been completely serviced and runs perfectly as well as coming with our twelve month warranty.
From a fantastic watch maker, to a war that changed the world, this vintage pocket watch is a true collectors piece.

Made in 1914, this antique pocket watch by Waltham looks and feels perfect to hold in the palm of your hand and after a recent service runs beautifully.

With the white enamel dial as clean and easy to read today as when it was made, it has stylish numerals combined with the sub-seconds at the bottom and those very sleek and elegant hands.
Inside is a 17 jewelled movement that as mentioned keeps perfect time and also comes with our twelve month warranty.
While there are many Waltham pocket watches around, finding them as clean today as when they were made and in full working order is always another issue, and this one is just perfect.

Antique Waltham pocket watch made in 1913 in excellent condition.
This antique pocket watch was made by Waltham in 1913 and is in superb condition with not only the movement running flawlessly, but the rolled gold case still having a wonderful sharp engine turned case that has had so little wear in its life, and like the hinges, is in excellent condition.
Measuring 51mm across plus the bow, the case is made from rolled gold which should not to be confused with gold plating which is much less durable. Rolled gold is a process where the gold itself is layered over a base metal then bonded together using heat and pressure and made into various items such as jewellery and of course pocket watch cases. The major advantage it has over gold plating is that because it is gold on the outside, it can be both engraved and polished, whereas this can not be done with gold plating. It is a true testament to the quality that it is still in wonderful condition even though more than 100 years has passed.
The dial is also in superb condition with no cracks and displays elegant and traditional Roman numerals as well as the sub-seconds at the bottom, and all of this is powered by the beautiful fully jewelled movement in the back.
The 17 jewelled movement has just come back from a full service, runs perfectly and comes with our twelve month warranty.
As beautiful today as when it was made, this is a wonderful antique pocket watch to add to a collection or for a special gift for that special occasion.

Antique pair cased pocket watch by John Cole made in the 1770’s
There is something truly wonderful to hold an antique pocket watch in the palm of your hand that is not only 250 years old, but still working such as this one here.
This is what is called a pair cased fusee pocket watch with the inner pocket watch protected by the gorgeous sterling silver repoussé case. This outer case was to protect the inner pocket watch from dust and other debris, and measures 47mm and has such an incredible tactile feel to the touch. With such detail on the back as well as around the edge, this alone is amazing to consider that it was made all those years ago.
Then open this outer case at the side allows the pocket watch itself to come out. Measuring 41.7mm across by 59.8mm from the bottom to the top of the bow, this enamel dial is still as easy to read today as when it was made. With Roman numerals and those gorgeous hands, this has all the charm and characteristics of a beautiful Georgian era pocket watch.
Then opening it up inside reveals a truly wonderful fusee verge movement that has been serviced and overhauled, and keeps surprisingly good time especially considering its age.
With stylish square pillars and a pierced balance cock, to consider that all of this was made by hand with no modern tools such as we have today is simply astounding.
Made by John Cole who also made grandfather clocks, this is a beautiful example of what could be produced all those years ago, and still function exactly as was intended 250 years later.
