AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IWC Schaffhausen Savonnette, 1911, 14K Gold (585), 86 g – runs perfectly, family heirloom from Asch/Egerland
Description
Provenance This gold IWC Schaffhausen Savonnette comes from my great-grandfather’s estate in Asch, Egerland (now Aš, Czechia). It has been carefully preserved in the family for generations—now I’m passing it on to a collector who will appreciate its history.
The watch Classic Savonnette (hunter-case watch) with a front hinged cover and crown at 3 o’clock. The white enamel dial with small seconds at 6 o’clock is in remarkably clean condition for its age.
The movement IWC in-house movement, movement number 555042—according to IWC’s serial number list, manufactured in Schaffhausen in 1911. The watch starts running as soon as it is wound and keeps time. An exceptionally good condition after more than 115 years.
The case 14-karat gold (585), total weight 86 grams. The covers are stamped inside (585 and IWC “Probus Scafusia” hallmark)—see photos. The original patina has been deliberately preserved; the watch has not been polished.
The inner dust cover has no gold hallmark, so it is probably made of metal.
