18C Ottoman Empire Turkish Crest Pair Case Silver Horn Verge Fusee Pocket Watch
Posted by in ottoman
18C Ottoman Empire Turkish Crest Pair Case Silver Horn Verge Fusee Pocket Watch. A rather interesting find.. Made either in England or Switzerland for the Turkish market. I had it looked at by a specialist.. Who dated this to be from the 1750′s or so.. The chain of the watch was checked, along with the balance.. He then found a key to wind the watch.. And it began to tick…. The key is now included. It has been running for about 19 hours.. Running a little fast…… It was stated that the watch needs to be serviced. The short hand is also a little loose. He noted the push buttons that open the cases are both missing. The horn or pique on the outer case has significant wear… And at the back on the shell is what may be an under. Similar to what is now known as the Ottoman. It’s quite worn around the edges.. But the picture is for the most part intact. No crystal over the open face dial. There is only 1 mark inside the case…. JC in a diamond.. I was told the watches case is silver.. I’m unsure of the metal. The watch and it’s outer case measures about 3 1/2 long from very top to bottom.. 2 7/8 side to side.. There is a small loose piece of metal that I believe goes by the opening. Near where I have it placed. Do see my other fabulousfinds.
