Houghton Ticka Watch

{"overview":"The Houghton Ticka is a British subminiature camera styled as a pocket watch, produced by Houghton Ltd of London in the early twentieth century. As of 2026, condition, completeness of the outfit (original tin, paperwork and spools) and whether the shutter still works are the main factors driving how much an example sells for, and outliers at the top end reflect exceptionally clean cased examples rather than typical worth.","buying_guide":"Inspect the watch body for dents and plating loss, check that the winding crown and lens stem are present and undamaged, and confirm the shutter actually fires before committing. Complete outfits with the original tin and instructions command a clear premium over loose bodies, which is what pulls the price range so wide.
