Antique Masonic "Hiram" Watch, Ruby Mechanical Movement - Swiss Style

Superb Antique Masonic "Hiram" Watch is a premier artefact for a dedicated collector.

To highlight its value, here is a factual breakdown of its advantages over standard commemorative pieces:
Key Collector Advantages 17-Ruby Mechanical Movement: Unlike basic models, this watch features a high-grade, 17-jewel Swiss-style movement. The genuine rubies serve a critical function by reducing friction at pivot points, ensuring the mechanical integrity and long-term value of the timepiece.
Intact Glass: The watch retains its original, custom-cut mineral glass. Given the rarity of this specific shape, finding an example with the crystal fully intact and clear is a significant advantage for any archival collection.
Working Condition: The watch is in functional order, ticking with the steady precision of a manual-wind mechanism. While untested for long-term timekeeping accuracy, its ability to run immediately is a testament to its quality maintenance.
Equilateral Triangular Geometry: The case is a perfect equilateral triangle, a shape of profound importance in Masonic geometry representing the union of the divine and the earthly.

Intricate Case Symbolism: The exterior is a masterclass in high-relief allegory, featuring:
The Apex: The "G" and the All-Seeing Eye.
The Center: The entrance to the Temple flanked by the pillars of Jachin and Boaz.
The Periphery: Interwoven working tools (Mallet, Trowel, Square, and Compasses) and Sprigs of Acacia.

Skeleton Design: While most Masonic watches hide the movement, this version allows the viewer to see the "mysteries" of the mechanism and its rubies in action, making it far more desirable than solid-back models.
This timepiece is a rare "Jewel of the Lodge" that bridges the gap between a historical tool and a high-end luxury accessory.
