Period

This intricate Swiss pocket watch, dating to circa 1910, features a sophisticated huntingcase design crafted from 18ct gold. The watch is a complex horological instrument, incorporating a triple calendar mechanism, a minute repeater, a moonphase complication, and a chronograph function.
It displays a white enamel dial adorned with elegant Roman numerals and gold scroll hands. The dial layout includes a sweep centre seconds hand, a dedicated centre chronograph hand, and three subsidiary dials providing the date, constant seconds, and moonphase aperture. Twin oval apertures are positioned to show the days and months. The movement is a gilt, keyless Swiss lever caliber, jewelled to the centre, with a cut and compensated bi-metallic balance.
The repeater function operates via two hammers striking on two gongs, visible beneath a glazed dust cover. The interior gold cuvette is engraved with various Exposition prize medals. Measuring 52mm in diameter and weighing 147.5 grams, the watch utilizes two buttons in the band to operate the repeat and chronograph functions.
