A particularly attractive and well-preserved antique full hunter pocket watch by Buren, dating to the early 20th century and housed in a quality Dennison case.
This is a very clean, honest example that presents exceptionally well—exactly the type of piece that is becoming increasingly difficult to source in this condition.
The watch features a classic white enamel dial with Roman numerals and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The dial is in excellent condition with no visible hairlines, which is always a key consideration with watches of this age. The original Poire hands complement the dial perfectly and retain a pleasing tone. Rich, black Roman numerals. Stepped down dial centre.
Opening the front cover reveals the traditional full hunter layout, offering both protection and a satisfying sense of occasion when checking the time. The case itself is by Dennison, a respected English case maker known for producing high-quality, durable cases. It remains in very good condition with light signs of use commensurate with age, but no significant wear or damage.
Inside, the watch is fitted with a Swiss-made Buren movement, finished with 15 jewels, 3 set in solid gold chatons. Swan neck regulator. Buren was a well-regarded manufacturer, and the movement is a good, reliable example from the period. It is clean and well-presented, reflecting careful ownership over the years.
