Lot 10:
One of a kind Kay & Co Workman’s Pocket Watch. This is an example of the Workman’s Watch that was sold by Kays from 1906 until 1919. The motto around the face reads “We require 8 hours for work, 8 hours for our own instruction and 8 hours for repose.” The reverse of the watch shows an engraving of Mother Industry standing between two working men who are shaking hands, while she holds an olive branch above them. The motto on the reverse of the watch reads “Working men of every country, unite together to defend your rights. These watches were made for Kays and they were intended to be sold to the working man during the troubled times of the early 20th century. This is a period when the labour movement and Trades Unions were becoming ever more powerful. Kays could show solidarity with its customers and hopefully encourage more sales to the working classes. Fully original condition, Ref: 90553. Mechanism Type: Manual Winding. Diameter (without crown): 52 mm. Height: 11 mm. Condition: Very good condition for its age. As seen in the photos. Watch is ticking at present, the watch has been serviced.
