Posted by in swiss
DESCRIPTION : Swiss quarter hour repeating calendar watch, 52mm. 800 silver original open-face case, unusual white enamel dial with sunken date at 9 and sunken seconds at 6 allowing the hunting movement to be cased in open-face format, stem-wind pin-set, case with silver cuvette, Swiss hallmarks and maker’s mark “EB” in rectangle, electrum-gilt movement with Swiss patent mark, 15 jewels, repeat train not jeweled, repeater operated by pulling lever at three downward. Running well, but has not been serviced or tested by us, striking well with nice loud tone, full sequence past 12:45 with striking on two gongs for each quarter; calendar advances early in the evening, could be adjusted to move closer to midnight; dial has filled edge chip to side of date dial, another edge chip to side of seconds, hairline running from there through seconds down to 5; hands are near mint, the seconds only excellent; case shows little wear, complete engine-turned detail with little reduction, no dents or dings, tight bow, light wear to crown with a single section of cladding gone. A solid and fully functional example with dial defects. We will always provide antiques declarations on our packages where appropriate. WE DO NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY!
