COLLECTOR’S NOTES:

THIS ORIGINAL UNSIGNED ENAMEL DIAL IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF LATE 19TH CENTURY WATCHMAKING DESIGN. THE STRIKING TAPERED NUMERALS, DELICATE MINUTE TRACK, AND CLEAN OPEN CENTER REFLECT THE ARTISTIC STYLING FOUND ON MANY HIGH-GRADE EUROPEAN POCKET WATCHES OF THE PERIOD.

ALTHOUGH THE MAKER’S NAME IS NO LONGER PRESENT, THE DIAL RETAINS ITS HISTORIC CHARM THROUGH ITS ELEGANT LAYOUT, ORIGINAL FIRED ENAMEL CONSTRUCTION, AND NATURAL AGE-RELATED PATINA. SUCH UNSIGNED EXAMPLES ARE OFTEN SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS FOR THEIR DECORATIVE APPEAL, RESTORATION PROJECTS, AND REPRESENTATION OF THE GOLDEN AGE OF MECHANICAL TIMEKEEPING.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS LISTING IS FOR THE DIAL ONLY. NO MOVEMENT, CASE, HANDS, OR CRYSTAL ARE INCLUDED.
