Watch : Antique Aeby & Landry Jump Hour Pocket Watch

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. It is protected by a glass inspection lens. The watch measures 54mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gun metal with gold coloured highlights and it is in lovely condition. The dial is signed patent (which refers to the jump hour design), A&L (for Aeby & Landry), a Swiss watch company founded in 1873 by John Aeby and Constant Felicien Landry in Madretsch. They gained a reputation for innovation and producing high-quality pocket watches, including chronographs and complicated watches, experimenting with digital displays as early as 1884. The enamel dial looks good to the naked eye. There are six incredibly faint hairlines if viewed through a jeweller’s loupe. The time is changed by way of the pin-set mechanism. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
