We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment.

This pocket watch originates from the 1920 period in an Art Deco style, constructed as an open-faced timepiece in 14ct gold, glass, and steel with a gold colourway. The round case holds a champagne dial featuring Arabic numerals, blued steel hands, and a lower sub-seconds dial marked with numbers up to sixty, bearing the Monte Ancre name near the top and Swiss Made at the base. Visible signs of age include surface scratches and marks across the dial face, alongside a circular winder ring attached at the top via a stepped crown. Measuring approximately 5 cm in diameter, this personal accessory fits comfortably into the palm or a waistcoat pocket. It serves as a portable timekeeper for daily use or as a decorative collector display piece on a desk or shelf in a study or living space.

FAQs

An open-faced pocket watch, or Lepine calibre, features a case without a protective metal cover over the crystal, allowing the dial to be read directly. Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, this configuration places the winding stem at the 12 oclock position.

During the 1920s, Swiss timepieces were encased in solid gold, such as 14ct or 18ct yellow gold, paired with metal dials and blued steel hands. Internal mechanical movements utilised synthetic ruby or sapphire jewels to minimise friction on pivot points.

Authentic pieces feature hallmark stamps inside the case back indicating gold purity (such as 0.585 for 14ct), maker marks, and Swiss assay control stamps. Additional indicators include hand-finished movement components and precise typography on the dial.

Beyond traditional waistcoat or pocket wear attached to an Albert chain, an antique pocket watch can be displayed under a glass dome pocket watch stand on a desk, or mounted in a felt-lined shadow box frame.

Keep the timepiece away from moisture, strong magnetic fields, and extreme temperature variations. Mechanical movements require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years to clean the movement and apply fresh watch oils.
