The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1870s.
The watch has a fusee movement which is working nicely. A winding key is included. The movement is signed R Moretti, Cardiff and it is protected by a fitted inner dust cover. The movement hinges out of the front of the case.
The watch itself measures 48mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop.
The hallmark ties in nicely with the date that Moretti produced watches, 1865 to 1887. The case is in good condition. The inner cover has scratches where the key has slipped during winding.
The plastic lens is in good condition.
The signed dial has a short hairline crack beneath the subsidiary seconds dial but otherwise is in lovely condition.
PRICE INCLUDES WORLDWIDE POSTAGE
