Antique William Gray Pocket Watch Movement - 41.3mm – Spares/Repair

Description:
An antique pocket watch movement signed William Gray, Mid Calder, offered for spares or repair. This is an attractive gilt movement featuring engraved balance cock, blued screws, and a traditional English lever layout typical of late 19th century British watchmaking.

The movement is fitted with its original enamel dial and hands, both of which are in excellent overall condition. The dial features Roman numerals with a subsidiary seconds dial, giving a classic and highly desirable appearance.

The movement has a faulty balance and is therefore not running, making it suitable for restoration, parts, or collection. Signed provincial English movements such as this are increasingly sought after, particularly when retaining their original dial and decorative engraved balance cock.

Maker History:
William Gray of Mid Calder, Scotland, was one of many provincial watchmakers operating in the 19th century. These makers often retailed watches supplied with Swiss or English movements, signed for local sale. Such pieces are increasingly collectible due to their regional history and engraved decorative movements.
