Orologio tasca "Neuchatel" argento fine 1800 - 1850-1900

This splendid specimen represents the excellence of late 19th-century Swiss watchmaking tradition. Characterized by a visually striking aesthetic, the watch features a deep black dial with guilloché work, on which elegant gold Roman numerals stand out. The hands are finely crafted in the Louis XV style, accompanied by a subsidiary dial for the small seconds at six o'clock, which adds a touch of technical precision to the vintage design. The case, made of silver, measures 46 mm in diameter and has a total weight of 67.4 grams. The back is a small masterpiece of engraving: a refined repoussé floral decoration blends with concentric-circle guilloché, bearing witness to the era's artisanal care. The profile of the case is embellished with a gold border that creates an elegant color contrast. The mechanical movement is visible by opening the double protective back and shows the classic architecture of separated bridges typical of Neuchâtel production. Although it is presently a functioning piece, the mechanism tends to stop and requires specialized servicing to return to its former chronometric splendor. An unmissable opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of conservation restoration who wish to preserve a fragment of European horological history.
