ITEM-2644
Product Details
Own a remarkable example of early Swiss horology with this rare circa 1735
verge fusee pocket watch featuring an ornate rose gilt enamel case and
beautifully restored painted porcelain dial. Crafted during the Georgian era,
this oversized 45mm gentleman’s pocket watch showcases the elegance and
artistry found in high-end 18th century timepieces.
The impressive open-face swing-out case is decorated with fine enamel work
and signed “Leton,” offering exceptional visual appeal and historical
character. The fancy porcelain dial displays an elaborate deer and horse
hunting scene, complemented by classic Roman numerals and elegant Breguet-style
hands.
Powering the watch is a traditional gilt full-plate verge fusee movement
with keyset operation. The movement remains in very good condition and
continues to run well nearly 300 years after its creation — a true testament to
early watchmaking craftsmanship.
This antique verge fusee pocket watch has been professionally restored while
preserving its authentic Georgian-era charm. Its large size, decorative enamel
case, and attractive painted dial make it an outstanding addition for advanced
collectors of early Swiss pocket watches and museum-quality horology.
