Description

An early Swiss wristwatch, the sterling silver case has the sponsor’s mark A.G.R. for Arthur George Rendell. This mark was registered to the premises of Robert Pringle & Son, gold and silver workers based at 40 & 42 Clerkenwell Road, London, and appears to have been used solely for imported watch cases.

The white enamel dial has a recessed centre with matt finish that contrasts with the polished outer edge, this creates an interesting two-tone effect. There are some light hairline cracks at the edge of the dial between 3 and 4 o’clock and a small chip to the edge by 9 o’clock. The watch has a good quality, Swiss,15-jewel, gilded movement.
