COLLECTOR’S NOTES:

THIS ORIGINAL UNSIGNED ENAMEL DIAL IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE POCKET WATCHES PRODUCED FOR INTERNATIONAL AND EASTERN MARKETS DURING THE LATE 19TH CENTURY. THE ELEGANT BLACK NUMERALS, CLEAN OPEN CENTER, AND TRADITIONAL FIRED ENAMEL CONSTRUCTION REFLECT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE PERIOD.

UNSIGNED DIALS OF THIS TYPE WERE OFTEN SUPPLIED TO RETAILERS WHO ADDED THEIR OWN NAMES OR WERE USED IN PRIVATE-LABEL WATCHES. TODAY, SURVIVING EXAMPLES ARE APPRECIATED FOR THEIR HISTORICAL CHARACTER, AUTHENTIC AGING, AND CONNECTION TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF POCKET WATCH PRODUCTION.
