This 9ct gold full hunter pocket watch is a classic timepiece featuring a keyless wound movement. The watch has a case diameter of approximately 50mm and a gross weight of 89.5 grams.
The white dial is clear and legible, featuring black Roman numerals, a precise minute track, and distinct blued poire hands. A subsidiary dial for seconds is located at the six o'clock position. The timepiece ishallmarked 1927, corresponding with a commemorative engraving on the internal dust cover, which reads: ‘Presented to Rev.

It represents a traditional example of a British-manufactured gold pocket watch from the early 20th century.
