Antique Swiss made unsigned pocket watch, silver side, fine Niello, hunter case, in good working order
SKU: 202406084405
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 black parts are brittle and often peel off, but this is in excellent condition with almost no peeling.
The case is called a hunter case, and has a lid on the dial side. It has different designs on the front and back, and the front is decorated with gold plating.
The design of the dial and hands is also beautiful and antique.
It is unknown whether it has had an overhaul, 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!
