Description
Antique Circa 1900 metal cased Goliath Swiss lever pocket watch in good working order. The dial is white enamel with black Roman numerals and blued steel hands with sub-dial and marked Weir & Sons Dublin, Swiss Made. The movement is fully jewelled with a Swiss lever escapement, clean with a good strong tick keeping good time and marked by the balance wheel D.
It is button wind and pin pillar set. The case is clean and bright and has pocket wear as to its age with all the covers closing nice and tight. The dial and dial glass are clean and clear and free from any chips or cracks. It measures a big chunky 65mm excluding crown.
Weir & Sons was founded in 1869 by Thomas Weir, who came to Dublin from Glasgow in the early 1860s, working for other jewellers before setting up his own store on Dublin’s Fleet Street.
Weir later moved to 5 Grafton Street, across the road from where the current flagship store is.
