Overview
This is a mechanical pocket watch by Orion, presenting the elegant character of an early Swiss antique pocket watch.

The case back is decorated with fine guilloché work and a central shield-shaped cartouche, while the inner dust cover bears Orion, Grand Prix Berne 1914 and Montre Ancre de Précision markings with medal motifs.
The most notable highlights of this watch are the Orion branding, the 0.800 silver case, the decorative guilloché back and the medal-decorated inner dust cover.
