(All text, heading, information and photographs within this listing are the intellectual property and copyright of; riversidemaximus23 and has been written by myself and not AI.) Gentleman's Antique 'Limit No.2' Swiss 7 jewel pocket watch with beautiful ivory porcelain dial in a chunky 16 size silver nickel case. C~1920's. Looks to have been much loved and very well taken care of - her condition certainly reflects this. Full working order, checked/serviced by my highly experienced watchmaker and is guaranteed to be 100% authentic - a timepiece to grace any collection! Dial;- Impressive and distinctive, high gloss, 'snowflake' white porcelain dial in very near mint condition - just one extremely light and fine (micro) hairline from centre to number 7 (so small is not visible with the naked eye but mentioning for accuracy). Clearly signed in black very fancy script; Limit No.2, with; SWISS MADE in arched black script to base of dial. Bold black Roman numerals with black minute markers and bolder black triangular shaped 15 minute markers to chapter ring. Large sub dial with black Arabic numbers and black seconds chapters. Finely cut, original bright blued steel spade and whip hands and blued steel arrow tip seconds hand all in lovely straight order. Original domed glass (not acrylic) in clear and bright condition with just two or 3 micro surface scratches showing under eyeglass only. Case;- The highly polished chunky silver nickel 16 size case (5cm diameter / 7cm from top of bow to base) is heavy (has a pleasing solid feel in the hand) and total watch weight is 91.6 grams, robust and in wonderful condition (please excuse the reflections/dark shadows in the pictures, was extremely difficult to photograph) - absolutely no wear, just two extremely small indentations to back cover (again so tiny is not showing up in the photographs, only visible in certain light but mentioning for accuracy) and just a few little overall little surface scratches (all usually caused by carrying the watch in a pocket with other heavy objects jangling around) commensurate with age and use in her 100+ years service. These robust silver nickel cases where favoured by Railway men for their strength and durability. All covers (both inside and out) still retain their original, high gloss, mirror finish. The front bezel snaps on and off correctly, closing tightly with a very reassuring click. Back cover and dust cover open correctly to exactly 90 degrees, again closing very tightly. Clearly numbered to the inside of the back cover; 281552 and carries two old service marks - one looks to be dated; 14/11/40 (14th November 1940). The inside of the back cover (carries a tiny bit of scratching just above the hinge which does not detract) carries the most wonderful 'fish scale' engine turning which is as bright and crisp as the day it was made. Correctly numbered again; 2815522. Movement;- The stem wound and set 7 ruby jewelled Swiss lever movement is in clean and bright order and as mentioned above has just been checked/serviced by my highly experienced watch maker. Carries very attractive wavy engine turning to the top plates - the detail of which remains as crisp and clear today as the day it were made. Has a solid bi-arm balance with brass balance screws and two brass meantime screws (for precision timing), steel balance spring which is true, in the round and 'breathing' well, ruby end stone, ruby pallet jewels, attractive 'swirl' engine turning to the mirror finish mainspring and ratchet barrel covers and original, matching highly polished bevel edge steel case screws. Stamped clearly on the top plates in arched black script; SWISS MADE and is beautifully stamped around the mainspring barrel cover; Limit No2. Balance action is tremendous in all positions (could not be any better) with a sure, strong positive action - runs like a train. Winds extremely smoothly and fully (do not be afraid to fully wind, over-winding is the greatest horological myth!) Hand set operates smoothly and correctly - the pull up/push down action is very firm and true. Lovely original crisp un-worn big 'onion' crown. Original large un-worn bow.
