Pocket Watch : Antique Douard Goliath Pocket Watch

The watch has a stem-winding movement which carries the brevet, or patent, number 7032. This relates to an 1893 patent for a new watch calibre, with the inventor and applicant listed as Amedee Douard. The movement is working nicely and it is all protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 70mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel with a rose gold edging to the inner edge of the bevel. The thick glass lens is in good condition, just a few small marks, and a 4mm chip underneath the lens at the bottom. The dial has its original pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a faint hairline between 9 and 12. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
