Antique Swiss Pocket Watch, Chain and Unusual Fob

Antique Swiss pocket watch, chain and unusual fob.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has light scratching across it.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold filled and it is in lovely condition, with nice crisp engine turned detail to the back and a vacant cartouche to the centre.

The glass lens looks good to the naked eye, some light marking if you look very closely.

The dial has blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a 2mm hairline to the edge, and a nibble to the edge but this is covered by the bezel.

The watch comes on a Churchill style chain, 29cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. It also has a very unusual fob which comprises a George VI coin with a graduated arrangement of watch cogs, we have never seen one of these before and it is very effective, and very nicely put together.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
