I'm new to the site, but had to join to see if anyone could help me out with this. I recently bought this silver pocket watch at an antique market in Italy, and well I wouldn't know if they guy who sold it to me knew anymore about it than I do. I have pictures of the watch and the watchmaker on the dial. It says its a London watch, but none of the hallmarks on the inside are consistent with any British marks I have found on here, but maybe I missed it. I'd look up information on the movement serial numbers, but there are none. Any help would me much appreciated.

Hello.
Those are Swiss marks on the case. Check here:

Don't know much about Kendall & Dent, 106 Cheapside, London (James F. Kendall).
Their movements and cases were often made by the Buren Watch Company, Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland.
A watch forum might help you get more information.
