Description from the seller
an extraordinary pocket watch signed G. Perret, Le Locle, dating back to 1850. This timepiece is not merely an object, but a living testament to the mechanical revolution that made the Canton of Neuchâtel famous in the 19th century.
Why this watch is a unique piece:
Historical Authenticity: Dating to 1850, it sits in a golden age of watchmaking. Its natural patina, visible on it, is not a sign of wear, but the certificate of originality that only 175 years of history can confer.
Prestigious Mechanical Heart: The movement is a rare example of hand-made engineering. The 15 jewels and the delicate "rosette" finishes on the gear train demonstrate that it was a high-end watch, commissioned for an elite clientele of the era.
Technical Details: Equipped with a quick adjustment system (F-S) and original factory stamps (P.B.), this movement is a symphony of components that still today exudes the artisanal craftsmanship that preceded the mass industrial era.
Condition:
The watch retains its structural integrity. The dial displays a fascinating "time-worn" effect that makes it an exhibition-ready piece for any private collection or sector museum.
Crown: rose gold = 2.38g = €180
The watch is perfectly functioning and serviced
Good luck
