You are bidding on a rare silver verge alarm open face pocket watch, made in Geneva, Switzerland in 1830. The pocket watch is complete with its original old key.
DIAL: The white enamel dial has black Arabic numerals with outer minute divisions. The dial has nice blued hands. The dial has an inner centre extra dial for the alarm. The dial has 3 winding holes: the top one is for winding up the movement, the middle one is for the alarm and the bottom one is to change the alarm. To change the time is at the centre. The dial is protected by a bulls-eye glass.
MOVEMENT: The old verge full plate fusee movement has a silver disc regulator, round pillars and a plain three arm gilt balance with blue steel hairspring.
