Antique mechanical pocket watch - 1900-1949
Overview
This is an antique mechanical pocket watch with a very appealing old European everyday character. The clean white dial with black Arabic numerals and small seconds at 6 gives it a simple and highly traditional appearance, while the engraved floral back adds a stronger decorative presence. Offered together with an old pocket watch chain, the lot has a pleasing and complete period look. Its main charm lies in the contrast between the restrained front and the richly decorated back, combined with the display appeal of the watch and chain as a set.
