Barraud and Lunds 18k gold demi-hunter pocket watch, London, 1913
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
circa 1913
This distinguished Barraud and Lunds demi-hunter pocket watch dates to 1913 and is encased in an 18k yellow gold housing. The timepiece features a classic white porcelain enamel dial with a single sunk sub-dial configuration and bold Roman numerals, signed by the maker with a matching serial number.
The demi-hunter case is marked with a London hallmark from 1913 and features an engraved three-letter monogram on the back cover. At its heart, the watch is powered by a free-sprung, frosted gilt-plate movement, designed for pendant winding and pin-setting. Notable technical details include a diamond end stone and the maker's signature engraved on the movement plates. Measuring approximately 45.2mm in diameter and weighing 87 grams, this timepiece exemplifies the high-quality horological standards of the early 20th-century London trade.
The combination of the protective demi-hunter design and the sophisticated, traditional porcelain dial showcases a balance of utilitarian durability and refined aesthetic appeal typical of the era's fine pocket watches.
