AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General description
For sale is a fascinating antique pocket watch from the renowned English manufacturer J. Dent, London. This specimen was produced in the second half of the 19th century specifically for the Ottoman market (export trade to the Levant). A real piece of history and a highlight for collectors of historic watches.
Special features

Case: Classic, solid silver case with fine assay marks on the inner lid.
Accessories: A matching, decorative watch key for winding and adjusting the hands is included.
Condition & Important Note (Defect)
Movement: The watch is currently not functioning. It is explicitly sold as defective, for tinkering, for repair, or as a source of spare parts.
