This watch is part of a large and mostly impressive pocket watch collection of an IAF pilot veteran that we are pleased to offer for sale in our website.

The watch houses an early complicated crown wind/lever set caliber featuring an hour/quarter repeater through an exterior larger button in overall excellent condition, running on 15 jewels. It is running strong, keeping accurate time with sub seconds and all functions working properly, chiming a crisp sound on two gongs. The watch also features a 60 seconds chronograph complication on the top side of the plates which is also in excellent working order. This complicated pocket watch can be seen in action (chronograph side) in our youtube channel. The movement is cased in an elegant hunter style (savonette) 14K solid gold case with firm gold bow and crown, good hinges, mint crystals on both sides and overall fantastic condition. The net gold weight of this case is 33 grams.
The dial is a beautiful enamel made with several hairlines but well preserved with original set of decorated Louis XIV hands.
