Fine and beautiful Swiss 14K gold automaton quarter hour repeater antique pocket watch
circa 1890. Beautiful green enamel over engine turning dial with gold numbers, gold
decorations,and fancy gold hands. The dial is flanked by two painted enamel fancy
Victorian ladies showing off their stockings and striking mock bells in time with the
repeater mechanism. Engine turned case with the repeater slide in the band and
gold dust cover in addition to glazed observation cover. Gilt estimated 16 jewel lever
movement. Excellent example.
When activated this watch chimes the hours and quarters on two gongs with loud and clear
tones.
This watch is in particularly fine condition throughout with the engine turning and crown crisp
and sharp.
