Friedrich Christoph Gütle à Arnstadt, 48 mm, 65 g, circa 1780
A gentleman's decorative dress watch with skeletonized movement associated with Philipp Matthäus Hahn
Case: brass. Dial: enamel. Movm.: skeletonized, open barrel, five-arm brass balance.
The unusual design of the dial border gives this pocket watch an almost modern appearance. The decoration continues on the small circles that allow the viewer to watch the cylinder escapement, the open barrel and the train. One of the rare pocket watches by F. C. Gütle, who worked in Nuremberg and the Stuttgart area in the second half of the 18th century. Many features of the movement indicate a connection to the work of Philipp Matthäus Hahn, such as the design of the movement, the circular applied balance bridge and the open barrel.
