Based in Birmingham, the company became the primary supplier of high-quality cases for prestigious brands like Rolex, Omega, and Smiths, particularly during the mid-20th century when high import duties on precious metals made local casing necessary. While the original factory closed in the 1960s, the brand was recently revived as a modern watchmaker, releasing contemporary collections that feature ultra-thin profiles and natural stone dials. Today, the name Dennison remains highly respected among vintage collectors for its historical role in housing some of the world's most significant movements and for its contribution to British industrial horology.\u003cspan class=\"txxDge notranslate\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"oo9gMe_h,oo9gMe_i\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vKEkVd\" data-animation-atomic=\"\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"class=oo9gMe_g\/TKHnVd\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbutton data-amic=\"true\" data-icl-uuid=\"292bad07-d8e5-469a-b1ae-9971fc01435f\" aria-label=\"View related links\" class=\"rBl3me\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"disabled=oo9gMe_g\/C5gNJc;aria-label=oo9gMe_g\/bOjMyf;class=oo9gMe_g\/UpSNec\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwihu6aGxLuTAxX8TUEAHQ4AB5IQye0OegYIAQgBEAE\" data-hveid=\"CAEIARAB\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wiMplc ofC0Ud\"\u003e\u003csvg fill=\"currentColor\" width=\"12px\" height=\"12px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M3.9 12c0-1.71 1.39-3.1 3.1-3.1h4V7H7c-2.76 0-5 2.24-5 5s2.24 5 5 5h4v-1.9H7c-1.71 0-3.1-1.39-3.1-3.1zM8 13h8v-2H8v2zm9-6h-4v1.9h4c1.71 0 3.1 1.39 3.1 3.1s-1.39 3.1-3.1 3.1h-4V17h4c2.76 0 5-2.24 5-5s-2.24-5-5-5z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dennison-half-hunter-9k-gold-case-pocket-watch-superb-condition-c-1850","title":"Dennison Half Hunter - 9k Gold Case Pocket Watch - Superb Condition - c.1850","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Discover this antique 9k gold Dennison cased Half Hunter pocket watch with white dial, blued hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDennison Watch Case Company was founded in Birmingham in the late 19th century and became one of Britain’s most important watch case manufacturers.

The crisp white dial with black Arabic numerals offers excellent legibility, while the subsidiary seconds register and elegant blued hands add plenty of vintage character. The slim profile and warm gold tones give the watch a refined appearance that feels every bit as elegant today as it would have over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1460\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe condition is particularly pleasing considering the age and material of the case. As expected with gold, there are light surface marks from handling and age, but overall it presents very well with a lovely warm tone throughout.
