L.U.C - 51051 - 1900-1949

Overview
A very appealing L.U.C. pocket watch set, where the watch, metal chain, and carved wooden stand case work together as a complete antique presentation rather than a watch alone. The warm light-gold dial, black Arabic numerals, outer 24-hour track, 0.800 silver case, and signed 15 jewel movement give it strong Swiss pocket watch character, while the wooden stand case adds real display value. The main attraction is the way the watch and stand case form a well-matched and highly collectible ensemble.
