Antique Octo 8-Day Goliath Pocket Watch and Chain

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Octo 8-day goliath pocket watch and chain.

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely; it gained around five minutes over six days. The movement is covered by a barrel signed Octo Non Magnetic. It also carries the brevet (patent) number 28536. This was for a 1903 application in the name of Charles Couleru-Meuri, it was for an 8-day watch. The name Octo Non-Magnetic was also registered at that time.

The watch measures 67mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and it is in good condition with just minor marking, nothing too serious at all.

The glass lens is in good condition, as is the dial with blued steel hands.

The watch comes with a single chain, 35cm long including the T-bar and the clasp, it is an ideal weight and size for the goliath watch.

The watch and chain come in a new presentation box.

FAQs

Goliath pocket watches are oversized timepieces popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, frequently equipped with extended power reserves such as eight-day mechanical movements.

These timepieces typically feature white enamel dials with black painted Roman numerals, housed in nickel, silver-plated, or gunmetal cases with heavy mechanical movements.

Authentic examples usually feature maker marks on the movement or dial, an 8 Days inscription on the face, an enlarged case diameter exceeding 60 millimetres, and a heavy stem-wind mechanism.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated pocket watch stand, placed under a glass cloche, or laid across a valet tray on an office desk or dressing table.

Keep the movement free from moisture and strong magnetic fields, wind the crown gently without forcing it, and have the movement cleaned and oiled by a specialist horologist every few years.
