A rare early 19th century high quality hallmarked silver pocket watch by George Brown of Beverley, Yorkshire. Watch number 3317, 1842.

This superb example of early horology has a finely engraved heavy silver case that bears the initials A M. It is hallmarked for London 1842. The English chain driven fusee movement is a work of art, finely gilded and elaborately hand fretted and engraved.

It is fully signed and numbered with the addition of the watchmaker's location, Beverley, Yorkshire.

This watch is in superb original condition. It came from an avid old time collection where all the watches were working and serviced.

This splendid timepiece still winds and ticks away happily. We are selling this rare antique watch as an early collector’s piece and as such we cannot offer a guarantee other than it is fully working at the time of sale.

We would suggest that such an early watch should not be considered for daily use.

We have videoed the watch showing it working and we would be happy to send it by email/WhatsApp.

The watch is in lovely condition with a perfect dial, glass, a good heavy case showing light ware and a beautiful movement. A watch key is also provided
