This exquisite pocket watch is a prime example of a late 19th-century American lever. Encased in stunningly engraved gold, this timepiece showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. The gilt three-quarter plate keyless movement features a going barrel, while the engraved cock with a polished steel regulator adds visual appeal. The uncut bimetallic balance with a spiral hairspring ensures precise timekeeping, paired with the reliable club foot lever escapement. The white enamel dial is elegantly signed and includes a subsidiary seconds dial, Roman numerals, and blue steel hands. The decorative engine turned and engraved 14-carat full hunter case is a true work of art, with floral motifs adorning the back and a shield-shaped cartouche for personalized monogramming on the front.
