Large Musical Silver Hunter – Circa 1900

This is a Swiss musical watch from the late 19th Century, housed in a large silver full hunter case. The keyless nickel musical movement features a large going barrel that can be played at will or on the hour. It has a nickelled pinned barrel with a polished steel comb consisting of 30 graduated tignes. Below the musical movement is a circular gilt keyless cylinder watch movement, slightly offset towards the pendant. The puce enamel dial is adorned with musical instruments and has a white chapter with Roman numerals, as well as gilt hands. The substantial large silver full hunter case has a glazed clip on cuvette that reveals the mechanism, and a lateral silver slide in the band that can be used to play the music. Both the musical and watch movements can be wound using the crown. When the pin above the crown is depressed, the watch is wound, and when it is not, the music is wound. This impressive and well-maintained large watch is in excellent overall condition.
