Antique Dent Pocket Watch Movement 35mm – Signed Dent Watchmaker to the Queen – Project Movement

An interesting antique Dent pocket watch movement measuring approximately 35mm in diameter and signed Dent, Watchmaker to the Queen.

Edward John Dent was one of Britain’s most respected nineteenth-century watchmakers and is best remembered for his connection with the Great Clock of Westminster, commonly known as Big Ben. Movements bearing the Dent signature remain highly collectible among enthusiasts of early English horology.

This movement features a non-standard complication and an unusual winding system for a watch of this age, making it an especially interesting study piece for collectors, restorers, and horological researchers.

Please note that some parts are missing. The balance staff is not broken, however the movement is being sold strictly as a project movement due to unknown faults and its incomplete condition. It has not been restored or fully assessed and may require additional parts and specialist attention before any attempt at restoration.

A fascinating opportunity to acquire an authentic antique Dent movement with unusual mechanical features and significant historical interest.
