- Housing and Physical Presentation
- The timepiece is described by the auctioneer as housed in an original red box with a neck strap. Direct visual observation shows the watch mounted inside a red rectangular carrying case bearing the Lemania logo and crown emblem, suspended from a white strap fixed to pivoting metal lugs at the sides. A metal push-piece is visible on the upper left corner of the red frame. According to the catalog description, the inner watch has a nickel case measuring 65 mm in diameter, featuring a snap-on back and an inner dust cover. Because the pocket watch is depicted only seated within the red outer housing, the inner case details, serial marks, and dust cover construction are not visible in the provided photo record.
- Movement Specifications and Catalog Notes
- The movement is identified in the auction listing as caliber 1130 and assigned a production period of the 1960s. The catalog describes it as a gilt two-thirds plate movement with a high-frequency lever escapement, compensation balance, and Breguet hairspring. The catalog records the condition as intact with the parenthetical note '(1371)'. Because no uncased or movement photographs are provided, all mechanical specifications, escapement types, and working conditions derive solely from the seller's catalog text.
- Dial Configuration and Split Seconds Indications
- The dial is cataloged as silvered with Arabic numerals, featuring scales for a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock and small seconds at 6 o'clock. Visual observation confirms 'SWISS MADE' is marked at 6 o'clock below the outer track. The periphery displays an outer chronograph scale divided into 1/10-second increments with calibrations from 1 to 60. Timing indications are listed as blued hands alongside a red drag hand (rattrapante).
