Description from the seller
Overview
A charming three cover pocket watch with classic early Swiss character, featuring a warm gilt toned case, a clean white enamel dial, and a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o’clock. The three cover construction adds strong period appeal and makes the watch especially pleasing to examine, while the inner case markings including Genève and garanti 10 ans reinforce its vintage identity. The main point of note is the attractive three cover format together with the elegant dial, although the minute hand is loose and detached.
