Pocket Watch : Antique Galonne Silver Cased Pocket Watch

The watch has a nice quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed underneath the dial with the calibre number AS 594 (for A Schild). The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has some unevenness. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and loop. The case is galonne in design which means it has an 800 silver case with rose gold wash detail around the edges of the front and back. The case is in good condition, just some minor shallow “dings” to the back, nothing serious. Unusually, the gold wash is still in nice condition, so often it is rubbed but this one is lovely. The cartouche on the back of the watch has the initials WS. The watch glass has minor marking but again, nothing serious and all very acceptable. The dial is in lovely condition with Breguet hour and minute hands in a rose gold to match the case. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
