Gilt brass cases, 79 mm. Verge, quarter repeating movement. A Swiss quarter repeater, in a very large and unusual oval hunter case. MOVEMENT : Gilded movement with small silver regulator disk, and beautifully pierced and engraved balance bridge with polished steel coquerette. All in good condition. Running well and repeating correctly, striking on two blued steel gongs. DIAL : White enamel dial, in quite good condition. One hairline running through the centre from 3 to 9, chips around the winding aperture and a few scratches. Blued steel Breguet type hands. CASE : A very large, oval, gilt brass half hunter case. The movement is accessed by an inner cover to the back, so it is wound (and hands set) through two small holes in the crystal. However the crystal is acrylic and the front of the inner case would originally of opened to access, so this a later modification. Originally the dial would have had an undrilled mineral crystal and the inner front cover would have lifted to access the dial for winding and setting. In good condition throughout, although the inner hinge has been repaired. The item “Gilt oval case pocket watch, verge repeater, c1800″ is in sale since Thursday, February 27, 2020. This item is in the category “Jewellery & Watches\Watches, Parts & Accessories\Watches\Pocket Watches”. The seller is “cogs_pieces” and is located in Beaminster. This item can be shipped worldwide.

French Berthoud Silver Verge Pocket Watch 1800. A rare early 19th century silver open faced verge continental French pocket watch. The watch was made by the Eminent watch maker Berthoud from Paris and is signed on the dial and the movement: Berthoud à Paris. This watch is in working order with the plus of recently coming back from the watchmaker. It is rare to find a Berthoud in such an excellent condition as this one. Berthoud was a famous and important French watch maker with his works on display in many museums ; its a privilege to have a watch by Berthoud. Dial: The watch has a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals, outer Arabic minutes and nicely pierced gold hands. The dial is signed in the centre: “Berthoud à Paris”. The watch is key wound at the front and comes with an old watch key. The dial is in very good condition, many front wind dials suffer from key damage around the winding hole. This dial has no chips or damage. Case: The watch sits in a plain silver case which fits perfectly with the movement. The case has the stamp mark GAB with a crown above. Early French case marks are not my speciality, so not able to provide any further info on the case mark. The case measures 46mm in diameter. Movement: The full plate gilt fusee verge movement is in good working order and keeps to quite good time however I cannot guarantee perfection as it is a 219 year old plus antique watch. It has a finely pierced and engraved bridge cock with plain three arm gilt balance with blue steel spiral hairspring. Silver regulator disk, plain round pillars between the plates.

An early silver pair cased pocket watch with a lovely decorative square pillar verge movement signed’JL Wynne, ALRESFORD No291′ , dating to circa 1800, in good general condition. John Lawrence Wynne is listed as working in Alresford Hants. The inner and outer silver cases are in good general condition but are not original. I believe they have been made to measure for the movement at a later date. The only markings on the case are initials’MBW’ on the inner case, see photo. No hallmarks so presumably white metal not solid silver. The outer case measures 50mm diameter and the inner case 41mm diameter. The bulls-eye glass crystal is in good condition. The convex enamel dial has a little damage, refer to photos. The beetle and poker hands are in good condition. The decorative fusee movement has a verge escapement, with a pierced and engraved balance cock, square baluster pillars and includes a calendar function (see photo with dial removed). The movement catch spring has a lovely scroll decorative finish to the end. The balance swings fine but the movement doesn’t run, so requires attention, the calendar function is in working order. The movement is signed’J. L Wynne, ALRESFORD’ and numbered’291′. The movement is key wind and set which work fine, modern key included.
