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.

gold with an inner cuvette. This case across is 47mm . The dial is enamel and

pocket watch you put a key (indeed the key is
