Pocket watch is regulated by a right side push arrow index. The watch measures approx. 54mm excluding the bow. Pocket watch runs outstanding and keeps great fusee time, last checked about 1 or 2 minuets fast within approx. 24 hour period hanging from a hook in the vertical position…….. But cannot guarantee accuracy upon sale. These watches are verge type. Meant to keep time, not perfect time 202 years ago. Watch comes with a sharp key for winding. Note all of my pocket watches have been personally serviced and restored to there best working order according to there age and condition. Just a reminder, care must be taken when winding these old watches not to overwind. They are true museum pieces.
