I have inherited this rather lovely pocket watch. It’s obviously been well used.






It’s a full Hunter repeater. You move the odd little triangular lever down on the side and it chimes the time. Or at least it did when I was a child.
It belonged to my Dad and he got it from My Grandma.
According to case marks, it may be older than that.
There is no makers name on it anywhere.
Anyway. It doesn’t work and I want to get it repaired. The local jewellers sent it away to their specialist and they can’t do it. So I am stuck.
I know it will likely cost a lot to sort properly but I don’t know where to start and I wondered whether anyone on here had any idea/contacts who could handle it.
Any pointers much appreciated.

There is a Facebook group Retro.Vintage.Watches.Restorations
Ask on there - they are fairly helpful.
