Zenith - 3191554, 5188 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a very attractive antique Zenith mechanical pocket watch in notably good overall condition. The clean white dial with black Arabic numerals gives the watch a classic and balanced appearance, typical of fine early Swiss pocket watches. The inner cover is clearly marked 0.800 and bears the Zenith emblem, while the inner dust cover is decorated with Grand Prix Paris 1900, Ancre, 15 Rubis, Balancier Compensé, and Spiral Breguet inscriptions.
Its strongest appeal lies in the combination of a signed Zenith dial and movement, a clearly marked 0.800 silver case, a 15-jewel mechanical movement, and very good overall presentation.
