L. Svensson (Lund) - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a charming antique mechanical pocket watch of smaller size, with a refined and elegant presence. The clean white dial with black Arabic numerals and a small seconds subdial at 6 gives it a balanced and highly attractive look. The case back is decorated with fine engine turning and floral engraving, adding decorative appeal while preserving a practical antique character. The lot includes not only the watch itself, but also a matching old pocket watch chain and a period presentation box, creating a complete ensemble with real display value. Its greatest appeal lies in the combination of the petite watch, the old chain, and the retailer box, all of which contribute to a strong period atmosphere.
