White enamel dial with Roman numerals, blue steel hands.   Plain small 18 carat half hunter case with blue enamel chapter ring, engraved monogram below a crown on the back.  The bow of the watch removed to fit in the purpose made gold bangle,  hinged wire band with safety chain.  The front cover pierced to reveal the enamel chapter of the half hunter case and set with a band of large split pearls and black enamel.
SignedBerguer & Fils Geneve
ConditionCirca 1860
CaseExcellent.
DialExcellent apart from a small chip by the securing screw. Diameter 36 mm
MovementExcellent.
A good quality interesting piece.  Confusingly the crown is set at the top.  This would not have seemed odd when made as it pre-dates wristwatches by some years.
