Beck Andover - Vintage - Argento 925 - 1850-1900

Beck Andover English Hunter watch, entirely in 925 sterling silver, with all its hallmarks. Protected by a second case, also in sterling silver, that shields it from knocks or drops, including the original winding key. Numbered watch. Movement mounted on rollers and operated by a chain; these movements, very particular, are extraordinary for the era and their complication, assembled with precious materials as you can see from the images. The dial with Roman numerals is in good condition. A watch from the mid-1800s, functioning, but conservative maintenance is always advisable. Mechanical manual-wind movement via the original key. Time-setting is done by inserting the key directly on the hand’s pinion and turning them to the desired time. Diameter of about 55 mm, including the outer case. Watch weight about 162 g.
