Superb Skeletonized Repeater pocket watch c1820

Code: 3.18

So often watches are described as skeletonised when only part of the movement is visible – the dial or back plate. This watch is skeletonised throughout and so both the back and dial plate have been carved away to reveal the workings and in this case, the repeater mechanism also.

The quarter repeater is activated by pressing down on the stem – to hear and see the watch chime, please click on the link below or copy and paste it into your browser.

Case – the movement comes in a silver open face case, which has a hinged bezel and back cover.
