935 SILVER NIELLO POCKET WATCH CASE PERRET & BERTHOUD LOCLE. 935 silver niello pocket watch case by Perret & Berthoud of Locle, featuring elaborate ivy and vine decoration, original blue cabochon crown, and untouched cartouche. A beautiful example of late 19th-century Swiss decorative silverwork. Dating to the late Victorian / Belle Époque period, this richly decorated Swiss pocket watch case was produced by Perret & Berthoud of Locle, one of Switzerland’s historic watchmaking centers. The exterior is adorned with intricate ivy, grapevine, and floral motifs executed in traditional niello work, a decorative technique in which engraved silver is filled with a dark metallic alloy to create striking contrast and depth. The resulting black-and-silver surface highlights the flowing botanical forms associated with the Art Nouveau movement and the decorative arts of the Belle Époque era. At the center rests an untouched cartouche framed by the surrounding niello decoration. The reverse features an additional polished reserve, also left unmonogrammed, a desirable detail as many surviving examples from the period were personalized. The original crown remains fitted with a deep blue cabochon terminal, an elegant decorative feature often found on higher-quality Swiss watch cases of the period. 935 Silver Marks. Swiss Hallmarks.

Up for sale is a antique Hartford size 18 pocket watch with railroad motif, both on the powder blue face and the Silveroid case back. It has beautiful fancy gold tone hands and does have a few hairline cracks and little chip under the crystal in the face(look at pics). It does wind and run but but no guarantees past that, it does have an adjustment to slow down or speed up the movement. It is a lever set watch which means you have to unscrew the beveled crystal and pull out the lever and then adjust the hands with the crown. It has a a very nice steam locomotive etched in the Silveroid case back and one also depicted on the face. The movement is turned 90 degrees so when you pull it out to look, you don’t have to turn it up to view, which is done on some RR watchs.
