Okay, I’ve got several very rare pocket watches that I have been listing over the last week. Possibly none as rare or beautiful as this 16 Jewel 18 size virtually flawless dueber Hampden multi color gold pocket watch. The detail on the case is crisp with no wear showing whatsoever. I have not polished this watch, it is exactly as it came from the collector’s collection. The case is ornate with flowers leaves and a buck or stag jumping over a log. The detail is far better than what my camera is picking up. The case shows gold applique of Rose, green and yellow gold with intricate Engraving framing both the front and rear covers. This is truly a watch you have to hold to appreciate! Inside the case it is marked Deuber in an engraved oval on one of the other covers there appears to be a snake on an anchor. The inside front and rear and covet dust covers all have fancy patterns. The actual case itself may be gold filled as it is not marked to any gold content or number of years too wear. The serial number dates this watch – 1896, it is a model 3 having 16 jewels and a high-quality nickel movement. The regulator is precise , micrometer style, and this watch runs absolutely excellent. You will not need to clean it or services in any manner, just enjoy it! The Bold dial with the Roman numerals is flawless with no hairlines or chips. It has a large sub seconds chapter and full moon hands that accurately display the passing time. This is a lever set movement. It winds smooth sets properly and runs accurately and the case outer Lids open to a sharp 89 degrees. It is as close to me as I have ever seen. This watch is truly a beautiful sight to behold!
