Antique Gallet pocket watch for Rotherham & Sons
Antique Gallet pocket watch for Rotherham & Sons.
The watch has a good quality Swiss 17-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The watch was made as a private label piece for Rotherhams but has been identified by the unusual micro regulator as a Gallet (Gallet produced movements which this regulator for the Canadian retailer T Eaton, once Canada's largest department store). The movement is also signed with the Rotherham & Sons mark.
Rotherhams evolved from S Vale who were established in 1747. To begin with, the company bought in ebauché (or blank movements) but in the latter part of the 19th Century they began to manufacture their own movements. By the late 1880s, they were considered to be an important Coventry watch manufacturer producing 100 units a week.
The company continued to grow and it is estimated that they manufactured some 600,000 movements between 1880 and 1930. While not as prolific as some of the big Swiss and American factories, such as Waltham who produced 26 million in the same period, they were still considered to be among the best English “volume” maker.
As well as manufacturing movements, they also bought in movements from Switzerland, such as the one we have here, to be cased in England in readiness for onward wholesale. In this instance, the case is the Moon model which was a 10ct gold plated case manufactured by the Dennison Watch Case Company, a prolific supplier of cases for various watch makers. The case has light marking but overall is in good condition.
The watch glass is in good condition, as is the dial with blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.
The watch will come in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.
