Hello, And Thank You
For Taking The Time To Look At Our Listing!


Just As A Note, The Watch Is Running Fine, Keeping Good Time, And Should Provide Many More Years Of Excellent Service!!

White Porcelain, Single Sunk, Roman Numerals, Demi-Hunter hands, Small Center Dial to Show Through the Demi-Hunter Center Hole.


Just a Great Dial!
No Hairlines, Chips or Cracks.
This dial will allow you to tell the time with the case closed, or with the case open! Truly, a very diverse watch!!


The covers fit together so well, that any space between the covers is almost imperceptible!
All details are sharp & crisp!
The ribbed side provides a better grip,
to allow you to better hold onto your watch!!


The watch has not been abused at all. Take a good look at this movement. This movement is in excellent condition! The movement has 15 Jewels, Nickel Plates, a Steel Escape Wheel & a Seconds Beating Watch Escapement, made by Joseph Jeunet of PA, Patented in 1858.


Winding Without A Key? As it's written out on the Dust Cover, this KW/KS Pocket Watch does not need a Key to Wind it!
How??
Look at the next picture!


As you can see in this picture, the two round circles that you saw before, tilt up, as is shown in this picture and allow you to Wind the Watch or Set the Time!! This is the Transitionary Watch between the KW/KS and the Stem Winding watch.
A very rare and unusual watch indeed!!


The back of the case is in excellent condition & shows little to no wear. The case is made from Silver, 55 mm in diameter, the Demi-Hunter Case Opening is Wreathed in Flowers & Branches, and the Back has a Beautiful Engraving of a Small Town, a Church Steeple with Mountains in the Background!
It's a very pastoral setting!


Well, that's all I can say. The Photos will tell you what you really want to know about the watch anyway, at least that's what I focus on first!

The price for this piece is $675.00


This Pocket Watch would make a very nice gift to that special someone, even if that "special someone" is you and your own collection!!

The picture was taken on Ford Island, which is the land mass in the middle of
Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i. Ford Island is better known as the home for "Battleship Row".
The sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was centered on Battleship Row.
