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!!

The Dial is Snowy White with BIG, BOLD numerals.
The Cobalt Blue hands are in mint condition.
What a Great Looking Dial
And It's OVER TWO CENTURIES Old!


A Perfect Dial!
No Hairlines, Chips or Cracks.
Just imagine looking at this perfect,
white dial whenever you looked at your watch!!


The glass for this watch is truly amazing! It's actually the original glass for the watch, which you can tell as it's hand-blown glass! Just look at the bumps and bubbles in the glass. Now that's a true rarity!!


Just another look at this amazing glass!
I have never seen a Pocket Watch
with a Hand Blown Crystal like this!
You certainly can't ask for anything
more original than that!!


This watch has not been abused.
Take a good look at the side of the watch.
For its age it has been treated very well!!


The movement is also very clean!
You can see the Chime adjustor
at the 3:00 position on the Movement.
This type of movement was
used in the early 1800's.

Lastly, the chimes have been adjusted
to make them sound very, very melodious!
You couldn't ask for a more pleasing sound!!
And if you could, you can change them yourself!


You can see how the Silver was hand pounded and you can even see at the 9:00 position, where it's marked 0.800 or Coin Silver.


The back of the case is in excellent condition and sports a very neatly engraved drawing of a Steam Engine. Further showing the age of this watch!


Just a close up of that great engraving of a Steam Engine on the back of the case!


The price for this piece is $1,495.00


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!

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