Period
London 1897
This Morris Wartski, Bangor silver full hunter pocket watch is a 19th-century timepiece characterized by its robust construction and classic design. The watch features a silver case, with hallmarks indicating it was hallmarked in London in 1897 and bears the sponsor's mark for Samuel Yeomans.
Measuring approximately 56.1mm in width, the case is a full hunter style, which protects the dial behind a hinged metal cover. The interior displays a white enamel dial signed by Morris Wartski, featuring bold black Roman numeral hour markers and a subsidiary seconds dial positioned at the six o'clock mark. The watch is powered by a key-wound, full plate going barrel movement equipped with an English lever escapement.
The movement is signed and numbered to match the case. Included with the watch is a winding key. The overall aesthetic is representative of the late Victorian era, focusing on functional horology rather than elaborate ornamentation.
