Fine Timepieces

The pocket watch alone weighs 102.60 dwts. The fob chain alone weighs 14.30 dwts. and surface acid tests for 14 karat. The watch winds, sets and runs but has not been timed for accuracy. The repeater function operates correctly, clearly chiming hours, quarter hours and minutes accurately and without delay. The chronograph function operates correctly and resets to zero. The dial shows no obvious wear, discoloration or fade at 10X magnification. The case shows minor-moderate wear to the guilloche finish at the outer edge, scattered superficial scratches and a few contact points to the rest of the gold surfaces consistent with age. The movement is clean with no signs of rust.
