EVE - 1900-1949

Overview
This is an early EVE Swiss mechanical pocket watch with strong early-20th-century character. The white dial features large black Arabic numerals, an additional red 13–24 hour scale around the outer edge, and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, creating a highly distinctive and period-correct appearance.
The inner case carries a 0.800 silver mark together with “SILVER från BOLIDEN” and import markings. The movement and inner dust cover also display several traditional watchmaking inscriptions, including 15 jewels, Breguet hairspring and cut balance.
The watch is accompanied by a silver-tone pocket watch chain, adding further completeness and display appeal to the set.
The strongest highlights are the 0.800 silver case, red-and-black 24-hour dial and traditional 15-jewel movement with Breguet hairspring and cut-balance markings.
