Description

Antique pocket watch, chain and compass.

The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement has a brevet (patent) number 35344 which relates to a 1905 patent in the name of Leon Levy & Freres SA. Leon Levy founded Pierce in 1883. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some scratching.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel. The front and sides are in good condition. The hinged case back has some unevenness.

The glass lens has a small mark, not very noticeable to the naked eye.

The dial is in lovely condition. Pin set hands.

The watch comes with single chain, 30cm long including the T-bar and the clasp. Also included is an English made compass with a hinged out magnifying glass. The compass is a little temperamental and it is quite difficult to read.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
