Antique Silver Pocket Watch – Swiss – Circa 1890–1900 Beautiful antique Swiss pocket watch in a finely engraved solid silver (0.900) case, dating from the late 19th century. The watch features an elegant Roman numeral dial with a recessed central enamel chapter ring and blued steel hands. The small central dial design and refined proportions are typical of high-quality Swiss craftsmanship of the period. The case is richly decorated on both sides: Front with ornate engine-turned and engraved motifs Back with elaborate floral scrollwork and an engraved monogram shield Fluted crown and original suspension ring Inside the case, clear silver hallmarks (0.900) are visible, along with a crown hallmark and serial number 69447, confirming the quality and period. The inner dust cover is engraved “Ancre de l’Observatoire – 1899” with a swallow motif, indicating an anchor escapement and a reference to precision watchmaking. The movement is a classic mechanical Swiss movement, beautifully finished in gilt brass with visible gears and balance. The watch winds and runs (timekeeping accuracy not tested over long periods).
