Antique Swiss SOLVIL Chronometer Pocket Watch Silver Side Open Face Good Operation
SKU: 202310113766
We would like to introduce an antique pocket watch from Switzerland "SOLVIL".
SOLVIL is a watch brand created by Swiss watchmaker Paul Detischeim, who had a great influence on the development of chronometers.
There are some dents on the side of the case and a hairline on the dial, but the precision is good and there is no distortion of the case, making it solid.
A pocket watch with a simple open case on the silver side, the size makes it easy to hold and fits comfortably in your hand.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swings well and is moving smoothly and energetically.
We hope this wonderful antique watch will add color to your everyday life!
