We would like to introduce you to vintage watches from JW Benson, a luxury jewelry store that is a supplier to the British Royal Family.

JW Benson is a long-established watch manufacturer founded in 1847, but after its factory was destroyed in World War I, it operated as a high-end jewelry store and made watches using machines from another manufacturer.

This is a men's watch from the 1970s.
The case is made of solid K9 gold and has an elegant color called royal gold.
The movement is made in the UK, probably by SMITH.
There is a message engraved on the back cover, and it appears to have been a gift from the company to the first owner as a commemorative gift for 40 years of service.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
