My grandads watch given to me a few years ago and started my interest in mechanical watches.
It,s 9ct gold hall marked for 1937.
Given to him by his wife i dont think he used it much because it,s in great shape and keeps good time, would be interested to know what the movement is can,t see any marks any where.

A beautiful, gold-cased, 15-jewel open face pocket watch. Get it serviced before you play with it. Something this pretty should be looked after VERY carefully. Does this watch have a chain?

This trademark "Everite" was registered by the Dimier Freres & Cie. (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) on the 8th July of 1927. They made watches, watch parts and pendulum clocks. Probably that trademark was used before this date.

Everite was a brand name of H.Samuels, I've not seen both names on a dial before. Nce looking piece.
Kindest regards from Paul G. Remember they are ONLY watches and this is JUST a forum. CHILL OUT! If I was asked what one piece of advice I could give a "newbie" to the forum it would be to ensure you read all of MarkF's posts (except when it comes to Sci-Fi).

The watch did not come with a chain and looking at the price of gold chains i dont think i will be getting one any time soon. I dont use the watch but if i did start to use it i would definately get it serviced. Thanks for all the positive comments.

You're welcome, Seemore. But remember to buy a gold chain for it if you do ever intend to use it (even if it's just for the one night at a special dinner or something). Bad things happen when you wear a pocket watch and don't secure it to your clothing properly.
