From my mother’s estate. This watch was considered a luxury item. More photos can be found online at pocketwatchmuseum. I will send 1st class insured. There are some scratches on the reverse side of the case which can be seen in the upper left of the picture of the hinge. Following is from an appraisal. Signed on the top plate for “Benjamin Chadwick Liverpool” serial number 11320. Half plate, (if the fourth wheel as well as the escape and the balance all have a separate cock, it is known as a half plate, regardless of how much of the top plate is left), key wound, fusee with chain, the cut compensated balance with gold temperature screws and platinum? Quarter screws, helical blue steel hairspring, free-sprung with overcoils, diamond endstone, jewelled to the third, endstone to the escape. The brass detent foot planted in the pillar plate and fitted with an overlength steady pin. Spring detent, the brass escape wheel and detent of Earnshaw type. Plain with fixed dome and barrel edge to the band, gold joints, pendant with front cover release button, front cover engraved with garter strap surrounding blank cartouche. Case assayed in Chester (three sheaves and sword), 1873 (“k”), maker Hugh Green, 20 Pownall Square, Liverpool, registered 5th June 1865 (“HG” incuse). Pendant assayed in Birmingham (anchor), 1873 (“Y”), probably by John Johnson (listed as “Pendant Maker”), at 8 Mount Street, Chapel Fields, Coventry, (“JJ” in oval cartouche). Different marks on pendants do not necessarily indicate replacements; pendant making was a separate specialism and this is a commonly found discrepancy. The blue steel hands in spade style with gold colored seconds hand, the latter probably a replacement. The detent spring showing signs of a soldered repair next to the locking stone. Size is 53mm, not as previously stated. The item “1873 SILVER BENJAMIN CHADWICK CHRONOMETER HUNTER’S CASE NEEDS DETENT SPRING” is in sale since Thursday, April 18, 2019.
