Description:
A charming antique Swiss pocket watch housed in a beautifully engraved 935 silver case. The case features an ornate floral and foliate design to the rear, with a vacant cartouche at the centre, typical of late 19th to early 20th-century Swiss production. The dial is a white enamel example with Roman numerals and delicate gilt detailing around the chapter ring, complemented by blued steel hands.
The watch winds, sets, and runs, though it will require attention as the mainspring slips. A characterful and attractive piece, ideal for restoration, collection, or display.
