Unusual antique goliath pocket watch with chain.
The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is engraved with the wording, ‘Horlogerie Suisse
B Vangraeschife, Hazebrouck’ which is in northern France.
The watch measures 64mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is a white metal, possibly a low grade silver. The design is unusual as it has an image of a clerk’s office to the back, an early image as he is writing with a quill. The case is in very nice condition, as is the glass lens, just some reflection showing in places.
The dial looks very good to the naked eye, there is a very faint short hairline which is just visible with a jeweller’s loupe. Pin set hands.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
The watch comes with a single chain, 33cm long.
The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.
