18 KARAT DEMI HUNTER WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICIED SIGNED KENT & WHITE & HUTTON BILLITER ST (LANE) 1927

STOCK NUMBER # CK440------I have an outstanding important piece for sale as it is an 18 karat enamel front cover demi hunter with enamel Roman numerals. This case across is 50mm and it is a stem wind and a pin set piece to the side of this crown. Push the crown down and the double spade hand will appear when the lid flips open to a perfect 90% angle and this is why it is called a demi hunter. This case is signed R&S and well hallmarked indeed. The serial number for this 18 karat gold demi hunter movement case is 315 (very early serial number). The movement is spotless and just cleaned, oiled and timed to perfection. The year of production for this Kelvin, white & Hutton pocket watch is 1927 and runs like day one truly! This piece was produced at their Billitner st shop and it is truly remarkable how well this piece was treaded almost 90 years later. There are over 50 grams of solid 18k gold so this is a sturdy case and not flimsy as the content is there. There are 15 jewels to this beauty and all have been cleaned and inspected. I will also tell you a rare feature is the escapement wheel are semi Wolf teeth not easily to be found. This is an 18 size pocket watch movement by American standards so it is big and clean as as whistle as all the scans shows you. One wind of the crown and it takes off in a perfect motion ;-)

The King's gold Medal . It was instituted in 1908 to reward meritorious achievements in the fields of art, science, business and public service. It is divided in two classes: gold and silver. The medal in gold is rewarded for extraordinary achievements of importance to the nation and society. The medal in silver may be awarded for lesser achievements. Billiter Lane (now road) ran north-west from Fenchurch to Leadenhall, entirely in Aldgrate ward. Nearby landmarks includedBlanch Appleton facing the opening of Billiter Lane on the south side of Fenchurch and Ironmongers’ Hall to the west of Billiter Lane on the north side ofFenchurch. Nearby churches were St. Catherine Cree on leadenhall and All Hallows Staining adjacent to the Clothworkers’ Hall and St. Katharine Coleman on Fenchurch. On the “Agas” map, Billiter Lane is labelled “Bylleter la.,” although the name is hard to read because it runs north-west and is therefore nearly upside down from a reader’s perspective. In a 1653 edition of John Norden’s 1593 map, it is number 59, “Billeter lane” in the key (Norden). Prockter and Taylor normalize the spelling to “Billiter Lane” (26), as it was known until the nineteenth century. While the etymology of the street name may hint at the trade of its early residents, by Stow’s time the street was a place of social contrasts. On the west side of Billiter Lane, in the lee of a great house owned by the Clothworkers’ Company, was a row of shops and tenements that were occupied by widows and haunted by beggars. Stow glosses over the current state of the street by digging into the past, but evidence from other sources, including a 1612 ground plan by Ralph Tresswall, suggests that Billiter Lane was a decaying street inhabited by “inconsiderable” people, as Strype was later to call them. Now known as Billiter Street, an alternate name in use by the early nineteenth century , the EC3 street in London’s financial district is shadowed by tower blocks. It runs one-way northbound, accessible only from Fenchurch Avenue (a street that did not exist in Stow’s day). Access from Fenchurch Street is blocked off.
