Dimensions:
This is an exquisite early 18th century (George II) silver repousse pair-cased pocket watch made by watchmaker, John Wilter in London, England circa 1759. Considering the fact that this watch is over 250 years old, it is in remarkably good condition – an absolute must-have collector’s item! This keywind watch comes with its own old key.
Dial:-
The original hand painted white enamel dial has black Roman numerals and an outer arcaded Arabic five-minute chapter. It has golden Louis XVI hands and is covered in genuine bull eye mineral glass.
Movement:-
The verge fusee movement has a sprung three-arm balance, pierced foliate balance bridge, silvered regulating dial and square baluster pillars*. It is is signed John Wilter, London and numbered 5484.
The movement is currently functioning well, but due to its antique nature, we cannot guarantee precise accuracy.
Case:-
The silver repousse outer case is really the beauty of this pocket watch - depicting figures and animals in a scroll border (see pictures!) The outer case is hallmarked for London and engraved with the initials R.N. A truly magnificent timepiece!
*It is worthwhile taking a magnifying glass to have a closer look at the movement’s precise craftsmanship*
