Description from the seller
Swiss watchmaking
FLB Switzerland
With quarter repeater, automaton with jacks, and double tone.
Massive 18K gold case - impressive fine figures - double chime - greyhound
Elegant dark blue enamel with applied small enamel dial with Arabic numerals in black. External minute markers with reinforced 5-minute marks. Delicate original hands with ring cutouts - blued. Applied double bell above the twelve - finely detailed figures - gilded - on the left a lady with helmet and spear, and on the right a young man, also with helmet, holding a sword. Both in antique garments, standing on a meadow. Below the six, flowers and leaves with a depiction of a greyhound. Enamel, dial, and figures in very good condition.
Smooth bezel
Grooved side engraving
Quarter repeater mechanism with hammer activation triggered by a pedal above the 12. The hours and the elapsed quarter hours are struck with a double strike, with the two figures alternating and striking with the hammer towards the bells, creating the impression that this movement is responsible for the sound.
Solid gold case, 18K stamped, externally smooth finish - internally FLB in diamond pattern - additional companies or gold stamping 40042 K18.
Glatter metal dust cover described in cursive handwriting. Remontoir on the left - smooth interior. Normal opening with a push button on the right of the pendant at the height of four - not functioning but present.
Fine full-plate spindle movement with strike mechanism on two tone springs, with activation of the bell striker automaton via pendant, delicate spindle bridge with floral ornaments and decorative frame. Diamond end stone.
Key winding - key for time setting on the dial, with central square and movement winding available.
Work and automatic function working.
As a collector's item, no testing of time accuracy and running time
Watch diameter 56mm - height with pendant 77.7mm - 136.8g heavy.
Highly interesting collector's watch with a figure automaton and quarter repeater in a solid 18-karat gold case.
