Antique Swedish Verge Fusee Pocket Watch – Wallerin, Norrköping – ca. early 19th century
A beautifully preserved Swedish verge fusee pocket watch signed Wallerin – Norrköping, an elegant and rare piece of Scandinavian horological history. This watch features a classic white enamel dial with bold Roman numerals, blued-steel hands, and the maker’s name written in graceful script.
The case—likely made of brass or a similar alloy—has a warm antique patina and includes the original swing-open front cover with its glass crystal. The back cover closes securely and shows light wear consistent with age.
Inside is a wonderfully ornate gilt verge-fusee movement, richly decorated with hand-engraving and a beautifully pierced balance cock. The movement is also signed by the maker, a mark of craftsmanship uncommon in later mass-produced pieces.
The watch comes with its original winding key, an important detail for collectors of early key-wound timepieces.

Notes
This is a verge escapement watch—an early and historically significant mechanism used before lever movements became standard. These Swedish-signed verge watches, especially from cities such as Norrköping, are increasingly scarce and highly collectible.
A charming antique for the enthusiast or a fine addition to any collection of early European pocket watches.
