Swiss Repeating Pocketwatch
Item # RPT-83
Huge Early c1900's Quarter Repeater Desk or Nightstand Watch
Status: SOLD
Price = $1295
Description: Large Quarter Hour Desk or Nightstand Repeater. Larger than the average coach watch, it measures over 4" in diameter and over 5.5" from bow to base of watch. Applied enamel face with windmill scene. Rear of case has landscape scene, an application of what appears to be a print. Repeater is activated by pushing the button on the side of the case. Watch runs great and keeps good time. Repeater mechanism seems to be working fine, has a loud and clear chime. Chimes the hour and the quarter hour. Watch was purchased by the previous owners Father in Argentina in the 1970's. I can't tell the exact vintage but the repeater appears to be from the turn of the century around 1900 or so. A very unique acquisition and I'd have to say I've never seen another quite like it.
