Primiere Qualite - 1900-1949

Première Qualité – Swiss Pocket Watch – 25 Rubis – Working
Offered is an attractive antique Swiss mechanical pocket watch marked "Première Qualité", featuring a quality hand-wound movement with 25 rubies, Breguet hairspring, and straight-line lever escapement ("Ancre Ligne Droite"). The movement is housed in a nickel-silver case and represents a higher-grade Swiss pocket watch from the early 20th century.
The watch is in working condition. It has not been serviced or tested for long-term accuracy or power reserve, and a service is recommended before regular use.
The white enamel dial features Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock, and elegant period hands. The dial shows age-related wear, including hairline cracks and small chips around the 10–11 o'clock area. The movement is clean and bears regulation markings, while the dust cover is engraved with specifications including 25 Rubis, Spiral Breguet, Ancre Ligne Droite, and Pivot Contre Pivot.
The nickel-silver case displays honest signs of age with scratches, oxidation, and handling wear consistent with its age.
