Zakhorloge, referentienummer 102942, uit de periode 1850–1900, met een handmatige opwinding, 37 mm gouden kast (18K) in een full hunter behuizing, gewicht 37 g, werkend met zichtbare gebruikssporen.
Beschrijving van de verkoper
This is a classic gold pocket watch from the late 19th century (likely produced between 1880 and 1900). The watch has a very luxurious appearance due to its ornate dial and "full hunter" case (a case featuring a protective front cover).
Hallmarks and Material
The inside of the case is clearly marked with 18K inside an oval, indicating the case is made of 18-karat gold. Above the "18K" mark, there is a small hallmark (a woman's head, specifically "Helvetia"). This is the official Swiss hallmark for 18K gold used from 1880 onwards.
The Movement
This timepiece features a "bridge movement" (distinguished by its U-shaped bridges). It is a mechanical movement with a lever escapement. The presence of blued screws and visible rubies (jewels) indicates a high-quality caliber. There is no clear brand name on the movement; this was common for Swiss watches intended for export to jewelers who would then place their own branding on the dial.
Dial and Aesthetics
The watch features a stunning gold "guilloché" dial accented with classic Roman numerals.
Specifications & Condition
Total Weight: 37 grams.
Estimated Gold Weight: Since both the inner and outer covers are 18K gold, the net gold weight is estimated between 14 and 17 grams.
Condition: The pocket watch is in working order.
