Geneva - 241180 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a very attractive mechanical pocket watch distinguished by its uncommon gilt vertically striped dial. The applied Arabic numerals, blue 13 to 24 auxiliary hour scale, and subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock create a layered and highly characteristic period layout with both practical charm and strong visual appeal. The watch is housed in an 0.800 silver open-face case with fine engine-turned decoration and an oval vacant cartouche to the back. Offered together with a chain and an old box, it presents as a complete and appealing antique ensemble.
The most notable highlight of this watch is the gilt striped dial, the blue 24 hour auxiliary scale, the 0.800 silver case, and the complete presentation with chain and box.
