THE SCOOP...

We have recently acquired a long time gathering of pocket watches from a local collector. If you are looking to add a nice watch or two to your gathering, I would suggest you watch our listings as we will be offering - them one at a time - at . It is rarely you get the opportunity toacquire high quality watches as most are socked away in long time collections and trade hands quietly.

Take this opportunity to own the best!

Here I am pleased to offer, fresh from an old time collection, a very early sterling pair-cased keywind fusee watch. This watch dates to around 1846 by the hallmarks found both on the inner and outer case components. Both hallmarks match, so you can be assuredthe watch case is correct and original. The watch retains a correctly sized key for winding. The inner and outer cases snap tight and the movement clips into place properly. There is very minimal play of the inner casewithin the outer case. The movement is very fancy featuring hand carving and gilding. Notice the bearded man\'s face carved into the movement?

This is approximately an 18 size watch, possibly a bit larger.

Overall, a gorgeous, 100% original example of a very early piece or horological history. You just do not find unmonkeyed with examples of these early timepieces anymore. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a great watch!

A great specimen that will make a welcome addition to any serious collection.

CONDITION:

Case: Light tarnish that can be easily polished. No significant dents or damage. Retains an early and correct \"bullseye\" crystal. Dial: Gorgeous condition with no restoration and no hairlines. This porcelain dial is guaranteed original to the watch, it is so clean, some people would think otherwise! Movement: Excellent running order - sets and winds smoothly and properly. One must be very careful not to overwind a fusee watch. This watch is currently running but I always recommend servicing watches once they have been shipped. Overall - a watch that has evidently spent the majority of its life in storage.
