Antique Koh-i-noor Pocket Watch with Chain

The Koh-I-Noor was probably named after one of the most famous diamonds in human history. The Persian word Koh-I-Noor means mountain of light. The diamond’s magnanimous traits and size make it a most desirable precious stone. Kohinoor's ownership has always been a topic of controversy. This particular watch has a Swiss 15-jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a lot of scratching. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel. The front is in good condition. The hinged case back has a few small marks and a little unevenness. The watch glass is in good condition. The dial is in good condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. The watch comes with a single chain, 25cm long including the clasps. The watch and chain will be sent in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage.
