Rare 16s South Bend pocket watch. 19 jewels. Stunning!
Very rare find, 19 jewel grade 293 South Bend of which only 3,000 were ever made, this one made in 1906.
Very high quality nickel plate movement with a Swiss lever escapement that is beautifully finished with a lovely damaskened finish and gold jewel settings. The watch is in fabulous condition and is running strong and keeping excellent time. It has just been fully serviced and has a new mainspring. The watch is crown wind and lever set.
Beautiful gold filled case is just stunning. Fabulous overall condition with very little evident wear and all of the gold intact. The case has hinged covers front and rear with a hinged internal dust cover, all of the hinges are good with all covers operating as they should.
The original double sunk white enamel dial is in fair condition as it does have a couple of light hairlines and there is a small repair at the 5. Good but mis-matched fine spade hands under a new acylic crystal.
Overall a stunning watch in lovely order working as intended.
