I've inherited a pocket watch...

...and was wondering if it's interesting or not.

It's a gold double hunter pocket watch with "Kay & Co Ltd Worcester" on the white dial. There's the initials "ALD" and the number 303206 stamped on the inside of the cover, near the hallmark.

Google doesn't reveal much that I can interpret.

I discounted that site, thinking that it was unrelated.

Thanks for nudging me back in the right direction.

ETA: I've emailed the heritage group there with some details.

Here's the watch:




ETA: An inspection of the hallmark reveals (I think) that it's Birmingham (anchor), 18ct gold (crown + 18) and from 1925 (capital A in a brevet shield).

Any chance of a pic of the workings of it?

Sorry for the strange request, but I have a few of them and really like them.

I'll get a pic of the movement when I work out how to remove the back cover without damaging anything. It's not immediately obvious.
