Zenith - 3037648 5734 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is an antique Zenith mechanical pocket watch with strong brand identity and classic Swiss character. The signed white dial with black Arabic numerals and small seconds at 6 has a clean, balanced, and highly traditional look. The silver case is understated and elegant, with a vacant shield-shaped cartouche on the back that adds a subtle period touch. The watch is offered together with an old pocket watch chain, giving the lot a more complete and display-worthy presence. The most striking feature is the richly inscribed inner cuvette, which immediately adds technical interest and historical charm to the piece.
