Schweiz, Case No. 69511, 48 mm, 90 g, circa 1900
A gentleman's fine quarter repeating pocket watch - so called Trip Repeater
Case: steel gun-metal finished/pink gold. Dial: enamel. Movm.: divided 3/4 plate movement, 2 hammers / 2 gongs, screw compensation balance.
This is a very particular watch. The repeater function is not activated by a slider in the case as usual but with a coaxial button in the winding crown. The movement has blued screws, polished hammers and is perfectly gilded – it actually seems to glow in the dark metal frame!
