CHINESE DUPLEX ESCAPEMENT INLAID STONE SILVER HUNTING CASE KEY WIND POCKET WATCH. Beautiful pocket watch with lovely in lady detail of what I believe is Lapiz jade red coral and other. It could be potentially enamel. There is a spot for a monogram but it is not monogrammed. All the markings are in Chinese. The detail is absolutely wonderful. Please take note of the intricate detailing inside the pocket watch. Glass crystal does have scratching and marks however it is still very easy to read. Comes with the key. The pocket watch does wind and appears to keep time accurately however there are no guarantees on it and we highly recommend service. It also comes with the original pocket watch chain that is also in Chinese of making with 2 medallions with the goats on them. Most likely indicating the zodiac year of the goat along with the T bar for the vest. A Time Piece is rare to come in so complete with all pieces. All the markings are in Chinese however the pocket watch does test for sterling silver however there is minor abrasion and small chips in all the inlaid or enameled pieces. If you’ve been looking for a Chinese caliber watch this is an ideal time piece pocket watch chain also test for sterling silver. 12.5 mm thickness. Pocket watch chain weighs 18.99. It is a double chain and currently the links from the double chain to the end of the medallions is just a touch over 12 inches the tea bar is on a short chain of only 1 inch and the bar itself is 1.25 inches long approximately there is a little looped leader chain attached to it that I’m not positive the reason behind. It also has the looping C clasp to attach it is in functioning order but it is bent. The key functions well for the watch and does wind it appropriately however I do not feel it was the original key that came with the watch in my opinion.
