Around 1899 British Antique Heart-Shaped Sterling Silver Pocket Watch Holder with REVUE Pocket Watch
SKU: 159034009
We are pleased to present a set of a British made pocket watch holder and a Swiss made pocket watch.
The watch holder is made in the UK and is heart-shaped and engraved from pure silver.
I have handled several pocket watch holders like this, but this is the first time I have come across one of this style.
This type is often used for large watches called Goliaths, but it is also sized to fit standard pocket watches of around 50mm.
The set includes a working pocket watch made by REVUE Switzerland.
We hope this lovely pocket watch holder and antique watch will brighten your everyday life!
It is unknown whether this pocket watch has ever been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks smoothly.
We have uploaded videos to YouTube. Please use them as a reference for operation status, etc.
