Brockbank & Atkins Silver Full Hunter Pocket Watch
Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1907
This is an antique English silver full hunter pocket watch signed Brockbank & Atkins, London. The silver case measures 49 mm in diameter excluding the stem and bow, and the seller reports hallmarks inside all three covers for London 1907 along with a maker's mark of JW, tentatively attributed to silversmith Joseph Walton.
The source notes an English stem-winding movement protected by an inner hinged cover, likely bought in from a Coventry maker. The white dial features black Roman numerals, spade hands, a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock, and signature lettering below 12 o'clock.

- Dial and Visible Features
- Visual inspection reveals an opened front cover displaying a white dial with black Roman numerals and Breguet/spade-style hands fitted to the center arbor. A subsidiary seconds dial is positioned at the 6 o'clock mark. Mounted to the case pendant is a fluted gilt winding crown and silver bow. The seller notes that an acrylic lens protects the dial assembly inside the case.
- Case Construction and Hallmarking
- The timepiece is housed in a silver full hunter case measuring 49mm in diameter excluding the winding stem and loop. Operating via a front cover release mechanism, the winding crown pushes inward to open the hinged front lid. The seller reports hallmarks inside all three covers corresponding to London, 1907. Additionally reported within the casework is a maker's mark of 'JW'. While multiple London case makers entered similar marks during this period, the seller suggests this mark may belong to London silversmith Joseph Walton.
- Reported Movement and Retail Context
- According to the seller description, the watch is powered by an English stem-winding movement protected by an inner hinged cover. The movement is not depicted in the available photograph, leaving its layout, jewel count, and condition unverified by direct observation. The listing notes that the movement is signed 'Brockbank & Atkins, London'. The seller further indicates that rather than being manufactured in-house, the movement was likely sourced from a Coventry watch maker.
