Antique French Pocket Watch Skull Ouroboros Snake Gilt Silver Case c1850′s. The watch has a fancy gilt solid silver case depicting a skull head in the middle of the Ouroboros serpent. Amazing fire gilt cylinder escapement key winded movement. (do not expect quartz accuracy from 170 years old watch). All parts original-nothing has been ever changed or replaced in this watch! A matching key included. Fine enamel dial with original hands. The watch comes with CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. A link to the tradition of the memento mori – an object designed to remind us that life is brief and that we should seize the moment while we are here. Since the beginning of time, the skull is been used as a symbol of mortality, victory, the ultimate Memento Mori. The skull represented the contemplation of eternity. In Elizabethan England, it was an emblem of bawds, rakes and sexual adventure. Its a symbol men, in particular, have always loved to paint, carve, cast, and wear.

Lincoln HC Model 8. 16 size 21 jewel hunting case lever-set A. Lincoln is very rare in this hunting case Model 8 variant with a total production believed to be only 308 made. Movement is nicely finished with gold jewel settings, gold balance screws, gold center wheel, and a narrow stripe nickel damaskeen pattern. Dial is double-sunk enamel with Arabic hour numerals and a curved block letter “Illinois” signature and I have checked the rear of the dial and it is an original hunting case Model 8 dial. Watch is housed in a gold-filled Crescent Watch Case Co. Case with beautiful engraving detail. Case cuvette is engraved with a name and a 1915 year marking. Movement serial number is 3347503. Running though balance motion is sluggish and I think likely this movement hasn’t seen any type of servicing in quite some time. Nice looking movement overall cosmetically with good color and luster though does have some scattered fine scratches with the most notable concentration being around the serial number area. Dial is beautiful with just a few very faint hairlines. Case is very attractive with excellent engraving detail but of note is that the case rear and cuvette open wide of 90 degrees to the approximately 115 degree position (please see side view photo to show them at fully opened position).
