Antique Swiss made unsigned pocket watch with silver side niello decoration, slim hunter case, in good working order
SKU: 202504255299
We present antique Swiss pocket watches.
The watch has a case made of a silver base called Niello with black alloy material inlaid on it.
The manufacturer and year of manufacture are unknown, but it was made in Switzerland around the early 20th century.
It is decorated in the Art Nouveau style with niello inlay, and although the black parts are fragile and often peel off, this is a beautiful piece with only minor peeling.
This type of case, called a hunter case, has a lid on the dial side and is a thin type of hunter case.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
