Antique Silver Pocket Watch, Ette & Mischke

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the initials E&M for the Berlin based company Ette & Mischke who bought in watches, including those manufactured by A Lange & Sohne, Iwc, Omega. Then they wholesaled the watches or retailed them in their own shop. The company was active between 1871 and 1930. The movement is protected by an inner metal cover. The watch measures 48mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 800 silver and there are Swiss hallmarks inside the case back. Both of the back covers have a previous owner’s name and address scratched into them but thankfully it is on the inside. Overall the case is in good condition, just a few little bruises but nothing too detrimental at all. Engine turned detail to the back, along with a vacant cartouche to the centre. The acrylic lens is in good condition. The dial is in lovely condition with original pin-set hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage.
