AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautiful vintage Thermidor pocket watch, full of nostalgic Swiss charm and character.
What makes this watch truly special is its remarkably well-preserved and colourful dial, decorated with traditional Alpine scenes featuring cows, farmers and delicate flowers. The elegant golden hands and beautifully engraved case back add to its timeless charm.
With its generous 52.4 mm diameter, this pocket watch has a lovely presence and brings back the elegance of traditional Swiss watchmaking.
Inside, the Swiss mechanical movement with 17 jewels is running beautifully and keeping excellent time.
The watch has been tested on a professional timegrapher in vertical and horizontal position, showing impressive results of approximately -3 to +1 seconds per day, see pictures.
The watch has not been recently serviced. Although the timegrapher results are excellent, accuracy may vary depending on position, temperature and use. Long-term accuracy and performance therefore cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that the small seconds hand is missing. Something is visible where the hand should be, but I cannot confirm whether this is the original pivot.
A charming piece of Swiss watchmaking history, combining nostalgic beauty, colourful craftsmanship and a remarkably well-running mechanical movement.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
