AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Swiss watchmaking
Fine spindle watch in a gold case of at least 18K with quarter repeater and an overcase with glass.
First-class condition
Beautiful side decorations
Watch case with glass back - finished with tone holes at the edge.
Beautiful appearance - artfully crafted. Back side with engraved decorative medallion.
Opening button for case opening with small diamond.
White email dial with Roman numerals and an outer minute track with large Arabic numerals at five-minute intervals. Silver-colored original steel hands with elaborate decorations, set with diamond splinters. Very good condition. Only the crown at two o'clock has a minor damage.
The lift key, which also functions as a time setting key, is located at the center of the dial in a square shape.
Movement with right-hand winding
Engraved decorative bezel with a ball ring.
Fine guilloché engraved back in very good condition. In the center, a medallion bordered by a ball ring with engraving, and an internally inserted silver-colored bell.
Eigerner factory protection with spring lock.
Beautiful gilded spindle work - skillfully crafted. Spindle bridge in fine floral design with six ornaments. Speed adjustment with a silvered disc.
Bell repeater (Bellcrime). The hours and the previous quarter hours are struck in the quarter. Pedant triggering. Bright sound.
Work and percussion mechanism functioning
Important: On the case under the front glass cover at 5 is the opening pusher for the movement fold-out, at 8 is the bell release and should not be touched.
When folding the workpiece back, ensure that the pedant is facing downward and pulled out — this is the simple way to fold the work.
As a collector's item, the running accuracy and running time were not tested.
Production around 1770
Watch diameter 50mm - height with pendant 70mm. Weight 111.6g.
Fine antique spindle clock with striking mechanism complication — a timepiece for collectors and connoisseurs.
Excellent overall condition of the watch - particularly well-preserved, finely engraved case back.
