Period
1930s
This Swiss-origin full hunter pocket watch is attributed by the seller to the 1930s. According to the source, it is powered by a 15-jewel stem-winding movement protected by an inner hinged cuvette bearing a 1930s inscription.
The gold-plated case, made by the Dennison Watch Case Company, measures 50mm in diameter excluding the stem and bow. Its front hinged cover is released by pushing the crown, opening to reveal an acrylic crystal over a white enamel dial signed Federal. The dial display includes Arabic numerals, an outer railway minute track, and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock.
