c1850-1890-This dainty 3 size open face pendant style watch is French made and features a simple white enamel dial with black roman numerals in the hour chapter, and tick marks in the outer chapter ring. Light crazing on the face. The hands are a blued spade and blued whip. The front bezel swings open, and the intact crystal features a circular depression. The rear case is turned and has a signet portal, which is unmarked. Depressing the stem opens the rear case, which is gold plated and engraved with illegible lettering and "k 18/ 10478". The cuvet is also engraved "Cylindre/ huit trous/ en rubis" which translates from French to mean the watch features a cylindrical escapement and 8 jewels. Key wind, key set. The key is a retractable, sizeable key in a gold toned cylindrical case. The cuvet also opens to reveal the 8 jewel movement, which is noted "A" and "R" on the speed settings (avance, retard). There are no other inscriptions on the Swiss bar movement, which is losing some of its gold plating. This lot includes a 7" chain with a 10k plated hexagonal fob. This watch likely dates to the third or fourth quarter of the 19th century. HKA#64346
