Lot No. 352 (93rd Auction)
Schweiz, Case No. 1892, 50 mm, 107 g, circa 1870
A charming pocket watch with two dials for two independent time zones
Case: nickel. Dial: enamel. Movm.: 3/4 plate movement, screw compensation balance.
The flower-decorated dial and the size of the watch give it a feminine appeal, but then there is the two time zones display – could the original buyer of this timepiece have been an avid traveller? And does the small second hand not look a little like one of Cupid’s arrows?
