Jurgensen Repeater
Very fine and very scarce small (42 mm) Jules Jurgensen 18K gold hunting case
minute repeater circa 1885.
First quality 31 jewel nickel movement jeweled to the center and the hammers
with some jewels in screwed gold settings and with gold escutcheons.
With an interesting variant of Jurgensen's regulator and Jurgensen's bow setting
mechanism. White enamel dial with black numerals and blued steel hands.
Heavy hunting case with elaborate monogram and date. When activated, this watch
chimes the exact time using different chime tones to designate the hours, quarter
hours, and minutes.
This is the smallest Jurgensen repeater I am aware of, and this watch has surprisingly
bright, loud and clear tone, especially for such a small watch.

NOTE: The small circles or shadows in some of our photos
are reflections of the camera lens. Since this watch is much smaller than in the
enlarged photos, a tiny blemish or imperfection that you could not see when looking
at the actual watch can appear very large in the photos.
