Description from the seller
Victorian Swiss Silver Key-Wound Pocket Watch, ca. 1880 – Engraved Case
Description
Elegant and authentic Victorian Swiss pocket watch, dating to approximately 1870–1890, made in the classic full hunter style with front and back protective covers.
The watch is powered by a traditional key-wound / key-set mechanical movement, typical for the late 19th century and visible in the photographs.
Case
The case is made of solid silver, with a gilt (gold-washed) interior to protect the movement — a typical feature of quality Victorian Swiss pocket watches.
The back cover is beautifully hand-engraved with floral Victorian motifs and remains in very good condition for its age.
All hinges function properly and the covers close well.
Dial
original white enamel dial
black Roman numerals
original period hands
good condition with only minor age-related signs visible upon close inspection
Movement
The watch is fitted with a classic Swiss mechanical movement:
Swiss bar movement construction
visible jewel bearings (ruby jewels)
F/S regulator (Fast/Slow)
cylinder escapement
movement appears complete and clean
This type of movement was produced in the Swiss Jura region (La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle) for European export in the late 19th century.
Period of manufacture
Based on construction and technology: circa 1880 (±10 years)
Condition
Very good overall condition for a watch over 130 years old.
Normal signs of age and patina consistent with its period.
Sold exactly as shown in the photos.
Additional note
The watch is presented with a decorative carved wooden display stand (watch holder), ideal for presentation.
