8-Day Pocket Carriage Clock Watch, c.1900

A large 8-day carriage clock watch complete with its original Moroccan leather pocket case, all in very good condition. Made c.1900, this Swiss watch measures 68 mm in diameter and features an oversized movement providing excellent timekeeping.

Such watches were often carried in tunic pockets of gentlemen travellers and army officers, and when needed the discreet fold-away stand could be deployed to stand the watch by their bedside.

Presented in original condition, the case shows only minor signs of pocket rubbing to the blue leather exterior, revealing the underlying red colour around the corners. Internally the case is clean, retaining all its vivid colour. The watch has a crisp dent-free steel case, hinged front and back, with a clear bevel-edged crystal framing the Arabic numeral dial with only minor service wear marks between 1 - 2, not immediately noticeable with the glass closed.

A beautiful example suitable for daily use.
