Circa 1880 Antique Bauer Decorative Dial Winding Pocket Watch Silver Side Diameter 44mm Working Condition
SKU: 202405174274
We would like to introduce you to some antique Swiss pocket watches.
It says "Bauer Geneve" so I assume it's a Swiss-made watch, but I don't know the details.
This is a beautiful watch with a metal dial featuring floral engravings and gold decorations.
The watch will work when you wind the mainspring, but the movement of the balance wheel is weak and it will stop suddenly.
Since overhauling or repairing it would be expensive, we are selling it for display purposes or to people who want to repair it themselves.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
