Geneve 14k Solid Gold - pocket watch - 1850-1900
Embark on a journey through time with the epitome of horological elegance - the Vintage Gold Geneve Pocket Watch. Crafted with meticulous artistry, this timeless masterpiece hails from the late 19th century, an era steeped in opulence and refinement.
Forged from solid 14k gold and weighing approximately 101 grams, with the gold case alone weighing around 40 grams, this pocket watch exudes a resplendent aura of luxury and prestige. Its circumference of 53 mm, extending to 70 mm with the crown, commands attention and admiration with every glance.
Beyond its intrinsic beauty and horological mastery lies a captivating detail: the engraved symbol of a crown gracing its case, a silent testament to its illustrious heritage.
This symbol, an emblem of sovereignty and majesty, hints at a distinguished lineage, suggesting that this timepiece was perhaps commissioned for a royal house in Europe. As the watch rests within the palm of your hand, the presence of this crown engraving sparks imaginations, weaving tales of grandeur and royal patronage.
Behold the immaculate enamel white dial, untouched by the passage of time, adorned with Roman numerals and possibly embellished with gold hands adorned with two crystals. Its pristine condition, devoid of any significant cracks or scratches, is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Delve into the heart of the timepiece to discover a marvel of horological engineering. Housing a complex mechanical movement, this watch boasts a symphony of intricate elements. From the ingenious Remontoire, ensuring precise timekeeping by evenly distributing power, to the Chaton, a gleaming jewel safeguarding the precious ruby, sapphire, or diamond bearings, each component is a testament to the watchmaker's artistry and dedication.
Marvel at the Ancre Ligne Droite configuration, a hallmark of Swiss precision, ensuring optimal alignment of the escapement components for unparalleled accuracy. And behold the Spiral Breguet, a revolutionary innovation that revolutionized timekeeping, offering unmatched isochronism and precision.
With 18 Rubis gracing its movement, this pocket watch stands as a testament to uncompromising quality and attention to detail. Though currently serviced and fully functional but the restoration of the watch's glass will require the expertise of a knowledgeable connoisseur, a testament to its intrinsic value and historical significance.
Evoke the grandeur of a bygone era with the Vintage Gold Geneve Pocket Watch, where every tick of its mechanism whispers tales of elegance, sophistication, and timeless allure.
