Antique silver pocket watch, Auguste Favre.
The watch has a good quality Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the lion and serpent image, the logo for Auguste Favre of Cormoret, Switzerland. Favre registered the mark in 1925.
The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has an image of Fortuna, Roman Goddess Of Prosperity, along with details of the movement… ½ chronometer, levées visibles, spiral Breguet, 19 rubies, balancier compense. A ½ chronometre is an older term for a watch that has been ''adjusted'' for temperature, meaning it has been tested and fine-tuned to perform accurately across a range of temperatures. Levées visible means the arrangement of the bridges and plates allows the watch''s lever escapement to be seen, this was historically a mark of quality. Spiral Breguet is a Breguet hairspring for enhanced accuracy and balancier compense is a compensated balance to allow for temperature change.
This inn...er cover is also signed with the name Leyonet, another brand name registered by Auguste Favre, registered in 1913.
The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver and it is in good condition, just the odd small indentation but nothing too serious. The inside of the case back has the Swiss and German marks which indicates that it was exported to the UK via Germany, and it also has the Auguste Favre mark again.
There are slight traces of a rose gold wash which would have originally been around the bezel and edge of the case back.
The acrylic lens is in good condition.
The dial looks good to the naked eye. If viewed very closely, there are a couple of hairlines but they are faint. Pin-set hands.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
