Antique Big PAIR CASE & PAINTED DIAL Verge Fusee GERMAN Pocket Watch
Posted by in antique
Nice antique pocket watch in pair case. Watch features nicely painted dial. Outer case is rather big, matches in size to triple cased watches – its 63mm diameter and 73mm height. Outer case is made of silvered brass and is imitating tortoiseshell. Silver inner case is typical for pair cased watches – diameter is 43mm. The dial is nicely painted with galant scene. The movement is signed by Blumb in Germaine. Baille mentions Joseph Blumb “Germaine” as author of late XVIII century watch from Metropolitan Museum. Joseph Blumb is mentioned by Jurgen Abeler in his text’Meister der Uhrenmachkunst’ as a German watch maker (no town mentioned) of the late 18th century. Most likely “Germaine” just means Germany. The movement has some features typical for German / Austrian movements – with cut and pierced surrounding of regulator and engraved rim of the top plate. The movement is unfortunately isn’t running – balance staff is broken, chain is also broken. Don’t forget to look my other antique watches on sale.
