1928 Keysor 702 George St Sydney Gold Filled Hunter 50mm Pocket Watch

1928 A. A. Keysor Sydney Gold Filled Hunter Pocket Watch

A superb 50mm gold filled hunter pocket watch retailed by A. A. Keysor of 702 George Street, Sydney.

A. A. Keysor was a Sydney watch and jewellery retailer operating from the historic Kiss's Building during the late 1920s. Like many respected Australian jewellers of the period, Keysor imported quality Swiss movements and commissioned watches bearing the firm's name and Sydney address. The original retailer signed dial gives this watch a particularly appealing connection to Sydney's early horological and commercial history.

The white enamel dial features black Roman numerals, subsidiary seconds, an outer minute track and matching gilt hands. Signed "A. A. Keysor, 702 George St, Sydney" and "Swiss Made."

Powered by a Swiss stem wind movement with seven jewels. The watch is running strongly, testing at approximately 290 degrees amplitude and gaining around 15 seconds per day at the time of assessment.

The beautifully preserved gold filled full hunter case features fine engine turned decoration, a central monogrammed cartouche and crisp snap closures. Made in Canada by the American Watch Case Company under its Empress trademark and guaranteed for ten years.

The inner cover is engraved "To Frank from Marge, 8.12.28," providing a charming personal connection to the period.

Presented in superb original condition with only light wear consistent with age. A handsome and highly collectable Australian retailed pocket watch with excellent presentation, strong mechanical performance and genuine Sydney history.

Every watch offered by Harrington & Co is carefully inspected for authenticity and condition.
