Description from the seller

A fascinating lot consisting of 6 antique mechanical pocket watches from the early 20th century. This lot features several "Roskopf-type" pin-lever watches—historically significant as the original "proletarian" or worker's watches—alongside highly unique collector's pieces. All watches are offered strictly for parts, repair, or restoration projects.
Individual Item Breakdown:
1. H. Rosskopf & Co.
Dial: White porcelain enamel with bold Arabic numerals. Features the iconic red oval logo with a rearing horse/centaur. Notable enamel loss/chipping near the 1 and 6 o'clock positions. Hands and crystal are missing.
Caseback: Stamped with the official H. Rosskopf & Co. Patent crest.
2. Système Roskopf Patent
Dial: Porcelain enamel with Roman numerals and an outer minute track. Small chip at the bottom rim (around 5-6 o'clock). Retains one original, ornate Louis XV-style hand.
Movement: Authentic Roskopf-style pin-lever mechanism with visible winding wheels.
3. Greek Patriotic / Historical Watch (Unbranded)
Dial: A rare and collectible porcelain dial featuring two crossed Greek flags, likely made for the Greek market during a period of national revival. Roman numerals and a sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock. Severe enamel damage/loss on the right side (around the 3-4 o'clock area). Hands and crystal are missing.
Movement: Pin-lever movement with "Succes" stamped on the bridge.
4. Pegasus – "Railway Regulator" (Swiss Made)
Dial: Classic railway-style dial with Roman numerals. Visible hairline cracks in the porcelain enamel. It retains its hour hand and a long, thin sub-seconds hand.
Caseback: Beautifully embossed with a detailed steam locomotive and inscribed "Railway Regulator - Swiss Made".
5. Haller
Dial: Two-tone metal dial with Art Deco Arabic numerals. It retains its blued steel hour hand and a long center seconds hand. The face is cosmetically cleaner compared to the porcelain dials.
Movement: German-made pin-lever calibre.
6. Sonia (Guilloché Cartouche Dial)
Dial: A visually striking and rare design. The hours are set inside individual purple-pink enamel circles (cartouches) featuring a hypnotic radial guilloché swirl pattern. The white enamel center has hairline fractures and spider-webbing. Hands are missing.
Condition Report & Technical Notes:
Movements: All mechanisms are sold as untested and non-running. They show signs of age, oxidation, and dust. Various components (such as balance staffs, mainsprings, or hands) are missing or damaged.
Cases: The cases exhibit a genuine, uncleaned antique patina with varied surface wear, scuffs, and minor oxidation characteristic of their age.
Lenses: Most watches are missing their front glass/crystals.
