Description from the seller
Pocket watch Savonnette Louis Savoye in silver – Cylinder escapement, 10 jewels – Circa 1880-1900
Elegant antique Savonnette pocket watch, dating from the late 19th century, around 1880-1900. This traditional timepiece features a mechanical movement signed Louis Savoye, watchmaker associated with Saint-Imier, Switzerland, and the French market.
The watch has a finely worked silver case, engraved on the back with delicate floral engravings surrounding an empty central cartouche. The edge features an elegant guilloché decoration with barley grain motif, characteristic of pocket watches of that era.
Inside, the cuvette bears the inscription “Cylindre 10 Rubis,” indicating a cylinder escapement mechanical movement with ten jewels. The watch comes with its brass winding key, numbered no. 8, allowing winding and time setting.
The white enamel dial, with Roman numerals for hours and Arabic numerals for minutes, is complemented by finely engraved hands in the Louis XVI style. Its classic aesthetic and period ornaments give this watch an authentic charm.
Condition and operation
Mechanical state: the watch runs. The balance wheel moves properly and, during testing, the watch keeps time.
Case: very good overall condition. The silver shows a natural patina that highlights the reliefs of the engravings and testifies to the piece’s age.
Dial: beautiful white enamel dial, with a bright surface and clearly legible numerals. A very fine and discreet crack is present on the outer left edge. It is hidden by the bezel when the front cover is closed and is only visible when the watch is opened.
Thus the watch retains a handsome overall presentation, with the expected signs of time on an antique timepiece.
