Description from the seller
Antique Excelsior Swiss Pocket Watch – Guilloché Enamel Cartouche Dial
Overview
A beautiful and rare Swiss-made open-face pocket watch by Excelsior. This timepiece stands out due to its exceptionally vibrant and decorative dial, featuring green translucent enamel over a sunburst engine-turned pattern (guilloché).
Detailed Specifications
Brand: Excelsior
Origin: Switzerland ("Swiss Made" signed at 6 o'clock)
Era: Circa 1900–1920
Dial: White enamel base with 12 individual green guilloché enamel cartouches. Each cartouche features a gold-tone Arabic numeral. The dial is further decorated with a gold-dot outer minute track and delicate blued-steel "Poire" style hands.
Movement: Manual wind mechanical movement. A classic Swiss finger-bridge caliber, gold-gilt finish, with an engraved balance bridge.
Case: Open-face metal case (likely nickel or silver-plated). The inner case back features a circular "perlage" or engine-turned finish.
Setting Mechanism: Pin-set (there is a small button/pin near the crown at the 11 o'clock position that must be depressed to set the time—a hallmark of early Swiss horology).
Dimensions:50mm
Dial: Excellent vintage condition. The green enamel remains vivid and intact with no visible cracks to the cartouches.
Case: Shows an honest patina and age-related surface scratches consistent with a century of use. No major dents.
Movement: The movement appears clean and the balance wheel shows good motion
note: the watch in working order not tested during time
Crystal: Clear with minimal wear.
