Pocket Watch : Unusual Antique Goliath Pocket Watch with Chain

The watch has a Swiss stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is engraved with the wording, ‘Horlogerie Suisse, B Vangraeschife, Hazebrouck’ which is in northern France. The watch measures 64mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is a white metal, possibly a low grade silver. The design is unusual as it has an image of a clerk’s office to the back, an early image as he is writing with a quill. The case is in very nice condition, as is the glass lens, just some reflection showing in places. The dial looks very good to the naked eye, there is a very faint short hairline which is just visible with a jeweller’s loupe. Pin set hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. The watch comes with a single chain, 33cm long. The watch and chain come in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
