| An unusual late 19th Century lever with decorative dial in a fine engine turned gold hunter case. Gilt three quarter plate keyless movement with going barrel. Engraved cock with polished steel regulator, compensation balance with blue steel overcoil hairspring. Screwed in jewelling, English table roller lever escapement. Signed and numbered silver dial with applied chased and engraved gold decoration. Subsidiary seconds, Roman numerals, blue steel fleur-dis-lis hands. Substantial crisp engine turned 18 carat full hunter case with ribbed middle, double flysprings to the front cover. Glazed cover to the movement, gold cuvette, number corresponding to that on the movement. | ||

| In excellent overall condition. Although signed by a Swiss maker the movement is almost certainly of English manufacture. Its design, finish and use of an English lever escapement point to this in addition to the use of "F" and "S" for the regulator. The fine engine turned case may also be of English origin although it has Swiss gold marks. |
