AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
an extraordinary pocket watch signed G. Perret, Le Locle, dating from 1850. This timepiece is not just 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 one-of-a-kind piece:
Historical Authenticity: Dating from 1850, it sits in a golden era of watchmaking. Its natural patina, visible here, 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-finished engineering. The 15 rubies and the precious rosette finishes on the gears demonstrate that it was a high-end watch, commissioned for an elite clientele of the era.
Technical Details: Equipped with a quick-regulation system (F-S) and original manufacture hallmarks (P.B.), this movement is a symphony of components that still today ooze the craftsmanship that preceded the mass industrial era.
Condition:
The watch retains its structural integrity. The dial displays a fascinating aging effect that makes it an immediate display piece for any private collection or sector museum.
Crown: rose gold = 2.38 g = €180
The watch is perfectly functional and has been serviced
Good luck
