JW Benson, a prestigious London watchmaker founded in 1847, was renowned for crafting high-quality timepieces for both royalty and the public. Known for their precision and elegant designs, JW Benson supplied watches to Queen Victoria and other notable figures of the era. Their timepieces often feature distinctive English styling combined with Swiss movements, making them highly collectible today and a fine example of traditional British horology.

What's on Offer

This elegant 9k gold JW Benson trench watch is a fine example of early 20th-century horology, likely worn by an officer during the war era. Its crisp white enamel dial features classic Breguet-style Arabic numerals, a detailed minute track, and a recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o'clock, offering both clarity and charm. The ornate blued steel leaf hands add sophistication. Protected beneath a robust Plexiglas crystal, the dial sits within a beautifully polished 9k yellow gold Dennison case, paired with a rugged brown leather bund strap for period authenticity. Housing a 15-jewel manual movement, this JW Benson piece is a wonderful blend of functional military design and understated luxury, making it highly collectible for enthusiasts of early wristwatches.
