Victoria - 9737-16 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a charming antique mechanical pocket watch with a restrained and very period appearance. The white dial with black Roman numerals is enriched by a striking inner red 13 to 24 hour scale, giving the watch an immediately distinctive look while preserving its traditional layout. The plain silver case keeps the overall impression understated, while the inner cover shows the Victoria mark together with an 0.800 silver stamp. Its real appeal lies in the combination of the unusual red 24 hour scale, the marked silver case, and the complete old world feel created by the chain and presentation box.
