This Swiss half hunter pocket watch, dating to approximately 1900, features an 18K gold case with a polished finish. The case is designed with a hinged front cover displaying a blue Roman numeral chapter, while the back cover features a monogram.
The white dial is clear and legible, marked with black Roman numerals, a black outer minute track, and a subsidiary seconds dial positioned at 6 o'clock. It is equipped with blued steel double spade hands. Internally, the watch utilizes a keyless wind Swiss lever movement, incorporating a cut and compensated bi-metallic balance and wolf's tooth winding. The timepiece measures 46mm in diameter and is accompanied by a set of 9K and 18K gold chains, one of which includes a jadeite T-bar.
The watch is marked with serial number 62688. This piece represents a classic example of turn-of-the-century horological craftsmanship, combining functional gold-cased precision instruments with ornate wearable accessories. It is characterized by its specific mechanical configurations and the decorative integration of gold and jadeite elements in the accompanying chain.
