- Movement Details and Source Dating
- The listing states that the pocket watch houses a manual-wind Hamilton movement with small seconds functionality ("Cette montre Hamilton d'occasion certifiée, vendue par l'emblématique Tiffany & Co.", "mécanisme à remontage manuel avec petite seconde"). The seller dates the watch to 1920 ("Date de fabrication : 1920") within a broader listed period of 1920–1929 ("Période : 1920-1929"). Because internal photographs showing the movement, inner case back, or movement serial number are not recorded in this source, specific caliber specifications, jewel count, and independent serial verification cannot be confirmed.
- Case Construction and Stated Dimensions
- According to the source listing, the round case is manufactured from 14-karat yellow gold ("fabriquée en or jaune 14 carats"). Dimensions reported by the source include a height and width of 44 mm ("boîtier de 44 x 44 mm"), alongside a length entry listed as 24 mm ("Longueur : 24 mm (0,95 po)"). The source describes the piece as made in the United States ("Fabriquée aux États-Unis").
