Professional Opinion:This is a very high quality Chronograph with a Sweep Second Hand & a 30 Minute Register. It comes in a Coin (0.800% Pure Silver) Silver Open Faced Case. The watch is in excellent working condition. Watches like this are few and far between & rapidly disappearing from the Market, especially in the excellent working condition that this watch is in!!


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!!

A White Porcelain Dial with the Second's Bit and the 30 Minute Register being sunk, Roman numerals used in the Hour Chapter Ring and Arabic numerals used in the Minute Chapter Ring, where the minutes are broken down into fifths & the 30 Minute Register. Lastly, the watch has spade hands to make it all the easier to read!


The Side of the watch shows that the covers fit together so well, that the only discernable sign of them is the perfect line that shows where they meet. You can also see the Gold coloration on the Bezel.


The watch has an absolutely beautiful & an extremely intricate movement! The movement has at least 11 Jewels, but I can't tell how many other Jewels are "hidden" in the movement. The watch has recently been cleaned & adjusted, and is in excellent running condition!


A close-up of this amazing movement, which unfortunatley is unmarked except for saying that its a Swiss Movement, which in itself tells you about its excellence!


The balance wheel is in excellent shape! Just look at how swiftly it moves! That just shows you how clean the movement is and how well its functioning!!


The inside of the Dust Cover & the inside of the back of the Case shows the Coin Silver marking with the Crown by the Half Moon, and with the 0.800 marking on the dust cover. But the important thing to concentrate on is that he case was well made and is still in excellent condition and will protect the movement in good condition for many years to come!


This just shows how clean the inside of the watch is! This is the Dust Cover that you're looking at and it's in great shape!!


On the outside of the case, is a Cartouche that has never been used, and where you can still place your own initials, if you so desire!! Many people don't bother doing that, but there's something special about having a watch you carry having your own initials on it! As they say, "Pride in Ownership"!!

Well, that's all I can say. The Photos will tell you what you really want to know about the watch.

The price for this piece is $995


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