SOLD

This is a Swiss made watch.

This is a rare variant of a skeleton pocket watch due to the size. In over 30 years of dealing with the watches this is only one of two watches of this size I have seen.

Movement – this is a wholly skeletonized bridge movement with a lever escapement and is jewelled to the centre. The movement is in 95% mint condition

Case – the movement comes in a giant sized gunmetal open face case, which has a snap on back and bezel. Each sides has a mineral glass allowing you to see through the watch front to back.  The case has a smooth plain finish and is in 95% mint condition

Dial – the watch has a gilt metal chapter ring with the numbers cut out so they become part of the skeletonization of the dial. The dial is in 100% mint condition.

The watch has a mineral glass on the back and front

The watch is stem wound / pin set

The watch measures 65mm x 20mm
