14K Gold Glashutte DUF Antique German Pocket Watch 1920
This is a Glashütte 14K gold pocket watch, made in Germany around the 1920's. It is in fine condition overall, and was running fine when tested.
The dial is white enamel, with off-white center portion, black numerals and markings, and gold tone filigree hands. The Glashütte logo appears with the words: "DEUTSCHE PREZISIONSUHR, ORIGINAL GLASHÜTTE."
Most of the spotting visible appears on the plastic crystal. The insides of both the front and back covers and dust cover are all stamped with identical markings, including a crown, and the following: "Deutsche Prazisions Uhrenfabrik, e.G.m.b.h., 0,585, 207941."
The movement is marked: "Deutsche Prazisions Uhrenfabrik Glashütte (Sa) 208356." It is gold tone, with blued screws. The movement's diameter measures approximately 41mm.
The diameter of the case is 25cm. The case and dust cover have some dings, and normal use wear.
Glashütte is known as the birthplace of the German watchmaking industry. The name, as it appears on a genuine watch such as this, indicates it is of the finest quality. A must for any collector of European pocket watches.
