SWISS, GOLD MINUTE REPEATING POCKET WATCH

Apparently unsigned, this large-size ‘Louis XV’ style minute repeating pocket watch is very high quality. The movement is fully jewelled to the hammers and has wolf’s tooth winding and bimetallic compensation balance, the repeating of the hours, quarters an minutes is performed by two hammers on two coiled goings. Displayed under a glazed cover beneath the cuvette, so that its beauty and intricacy can be admired at any time by the owner.

The dial design is inspired by French clocks and watches of the mid-18th century with Roman numerals and larger outer Arabic five-minute numerals, the gilt dot minute markers and ‘Louis XV’ hands add a dash of splendour.

The heavy gold case is finely engraved on the back cover with a monogram and the slide for activating the repeating is placed on the band of the case.

This very attractive top quality minute repeating watch would be the perfect timepiece to use on special occasions or as a worthy addition to any collection.
