Lot 536
A. Lange & Söhne Glashütte B/Dresden, Movement No. 49435, Case No. 49435, 56 mm, 135 g, circa 1909
A gold Glashuette pocket watch - lever chronometer - quality 1A, sold on 1909/04/12 for the sum of 562 Marks to Fr. Häußler in Augsburg - with Lange extract from the archives
Case: 18k pink gold, engraved noble family crest, glazed movement. Dial: enamel. Movm.: 3/4 plate movement, gold screw compensation balance.
The back of this Glashütte lever chronometer – which is in excellent condition – is decorated with the coat of arms of the noble Gaessler family. Whether the engraved "Moriz(!) von Gaessler" refers to the artist of the same name who was known as a painter in the Munich area at the end of the 19th century is not certain. Supporting the notion, however, is the fact that the watch was sold to Bavarian watchmaker Fr. Häußler in Augsburg – who happens to be the same Häußler who in 1944 purchased the Riefler wall clock no. 591 sold in our 92nd auction.
