- Identity and Dating
- This pocket watch is an 18k pink gold hunting cased minute repeating timepiece catalogued under the name of Jules Jürgensen. While the auction listing initially recorded a circa date of 1883, a saleroom notice amended the circa date to 1873 and noted that the lot is accompanied by a Beyer Certificate. The cataloguer notes that the watch is signed across the case, dial, and movement, with movement number 13'824 and case number 13'824.
- Dial and Movement Details
- The dial is catalogued as white enamel. Visual observation confirms the white enamel surface featuring black Roman numeral hour markers, a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o'clock, and a script signature reading 'Jules Jürgensen Copenhagen'. The movement is not visible in the primary image, but the auction record describes the calibre as manual winding, jewelled, with a lever escapement and a patented Jürgensen bow setting system.
- Case and External Features
- The case is documented as 18k pink gold in a hunting cased configuration with a diameter of 53 mm. In direct visual observation, the front cover is hinged open at the left, exposing the dial, a fluted winding crown, bow, and a repeater slide along the case band. The cataloguer also records a crystal display case back; this inner display back is not visible in the open front-cover photograph.
