This is a stunning 19th-century English verge pocket watch housed in a beautiful silver half hunter pair of cases. The watch features a full plate fusee movement with round pillars, adding to its allure. The round cock is exquisitely pierced and engraved, while the plain three-arm steel balance is complemented by a polished steel regulator on top of the plate. The time is displayed on a half hunter style white enamel dial, with two concentric chapters of Roman numerals. The inner chapter is visible when the front cover is opened, adding an element of surprise to this already captivating timepiece. The gold half hunter hands add a touch of elegance to the dial. The matching silver pair cases are equally impressive, with a striking broad border on the front bezel and a small glazed aperture at the center. The silver pendant and bow enhance the overall appeal of this watch. The maker's mark "HWG" in conjoined circles and the corresponding number on the movement are further indications of its quality and craftsmanship. With its excellent condition, this pocket watch is truly a remarkable find.
