Description from the seller
Antique mechanical key-wound pocket watch with a richly decorated case, the back featuring a detailed floral relief in Art Nouveau style. The white enamel dial is in good condition and features black Roman hour numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial, and gold-colored Louis XV hands. The dial and the metal dust cover (cuvette) are signed by the former distributor and watchmaker “A. Warrant / Anderlues,” which gives the piece a clear Belgian provenance.
The watch is powered by a high-quality Swiss movement from the manufacturer Cortébert, marked with the official emblem (the six-pointed star in a circle), serial number 912368 and patent number No. 176 (Déposé). Cortébert enjoys high status among collectors for producing extremely reliable calibres. The high quality of these movements led the factory in this period to supply watches to exclusive brands such as Rolex. The watch operates via a traditional key-wind mechanism, with the winding holes integrated into the inner cover. Winding key included,
The object is in a neat, authentic collector’s condition with light signs of aging appropriate to the watch’s age. The case closes well and the movement is visually complete and clean. A technically and historically interesting lot for collectors of early Swiss watches and watchmaking history.
The movement runs smoothly. Running duration and accuracy have not been tested.
The lot will be professionally packed, sent by registered mail, and insured.
