About the Item

A fine barleycorn engine-turned pattern decorates the reverse of this nine-carat yellow gold open-face case, centring a garter motif that frames a vacant cartouche ready for personal engraving. The hinged case measures 48 mm in diameter, enclosing a plain polished gold inner cuvette that shields the movement from dust, paired with a matching bow and grooved winding crown. The brilliant white enamel dial is preserved in clean condition, detailed with bold black Roman hour numerals, an outer minute track, and a subsidiary seconds dial positioned at 6 o'clock. Slender gilt hands provide an elegant contrast against the vitreous enamel surface. Beneath the protective cuvette sits a gilt-finished three-quarter plate keyless movement driven by a going barrel. Mechanical appointments include an uncut bimetallic balance paired with a blued steel spiral hairspring, a club-foot lever escapement, and a polished steel index regulator graduated for fast and slow timing. The mechanism is reported to be in full working order. Import hallmarks inside the case indicate it was assayed for nine-carat gold in Glasgow in 1913. The watch is accompanied by a fitted tan morocco leather presentation case lined in royal purple velvet, with the cream silk inner lid stamped for London watchmakers and jewellers Saqui & Company. Case diameter: 48 mm (4.8 cm). Total case construction: 9ct gold. Movement: Swiss keyless lever. We ship internationally, tracked.
