ROTHERHAM & Sons Ltd – advert
Full page advert from the Horological Journal, 1921.
£5.00
Post war English production, including Rotherhams two sizes of English made wristwatches, the larger size with black enamel dial, a half-hunter pocket watch, and PERI bracelet and other accessories HJ, May 1921. 25 x 18 cm (9.5 x 7 ins).
Rotherham & Sons, suppliers of most of the good quality wristwatch movements found in English work. They produced two sizes of movement used in their wristwatches, in two basic qualities, both jewelled to the 3rd (17-jewels). The smaller size was aimed at both men and women. The watches were more expensive than Rotherhams output fitted with Swiss made movements when sold and survivors of these all-English made wristwatches are rare.
NB: Rotherhams have the right to be considered the original supplier of mens wristwatches, with surviving wire lug hallmarked examples dating from before 1900. This was before any Swiss company was doing so – see my Profile No 2 for more information.
A rare advert for Rotherhams English wristwatch production, as rare as the watches themselves. Extracted from a stapled journal. In good clean condition, ideal for framing.
