Antique Stauffer & Co Silver Pocket Watch
DescriptionA very good quality, Gentleman's, Antique Silver Pocket Watch, in excellent condition and in working order.
The company of Stauffer, Son & Co was founded in 1830 and had a factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. They had a subsidiary company Stauffer & Co (S&Co) in London that distributed watches to the British market. Stauffer & Co sourced watches and movements from different sources including the highly regarded International Watch Company (IWC). These watches were stamped with the "S&Co" mark below a crown and also stamped "Peerless". Given the very high quality movement in this watch it is probable that it was supplied by IWC.
The good quality silver case is in excellent condition. It is stamped "0.935" for 0.935 grade silver (a slightly higher grade than sterling silver, which is 0.925) alongside Swiss control marks. It also has the case serial number 325622. The inner cuvette (dust cover) is similarly marked. It is also engraved "Examined by Goldsmiths Company, 112 Regent Street, London" - they would have originally retailed the watch.
The very good quality, Swiss made, lever movement is in excellent condition and good working order. It is stem wound and pin set - the time being set by turning the winding crown whilst depressing the small pin located on the case side band at one o'clock. The movement is signed with the "S&Co" mark within an oval, also stamped "Peerless" below the serial number 290420 and "Swiss" for Swiss made.
The white enamel dial is in good condition. It has the hours in gold Roman numerals and a sub seconds dial at six o'clock.
The watch measures approximately 49 mm in diameter (excuding stem and bow ring). The weight is 97.3g
Overall a very nice, antique, Gentleman's Silver pocket watch, a nice one for your collection.
