Antique Mechanical Stopwatch – c. Early 20th Century - Working
Description
An antique mechanical stopwatch dating to the early 20th century, housed in a silver-coloured metal case with a clear glass crystal and classic enamel dial. This is a traditional hand-wound stopwatch with centre seconds and a subsidiary minute register, typical of early sporting, scientific, and industrial timing instruments.
The stopwatch winds and runs, however the date of it's last service is unknown, so would benefit from a full service.
