Pocket Watch Case

Firstly “cottage country” means the local watch maker in the village bought parts form the “big city” from the case maker, the dial maker, the wheel maker… You get the picture by now, gathered all the parts he needed and made the rest by hand to produce a pocket watch as I have here, unsigned English movement. This is a work of art and a genuine piece of English history. The 18-karat multicolored case is signed by the case maker A. This is a small piece at only 40mm across. The hinge on this case is perfect and the crystal is glass high dome. The hands are solid gold and original. The enamel dial is also original and repaired around the keyhole area. As mentioned, this is a key wind and key set from the front in the middle of the dial chain fuse driven movement. Every link of this chain has been inspected by myself with my Zeiss microscope and each and every link is strong and secure. All parts have been inspected before the cleaning process and afterwards needless to say. A few winds with the key and off it goes. The era for this incredible multi tested 18 karat gold case fusee is 1740! And ticks up a storm! The chain is gold filled. All timepieces impeccably serviced by Darlor Watch all authentic warranted to be as such.
