Much appreciated, brother.
This one is a little different: an American pocket watch with a 45mm white gold case. I’m one to think that at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, there was a great quality in what came out of the factories in the United States.
According to the papers (it so happens that it came with them along with the box), Illinois considers this model very thin.
The dial caught my eye, it is rather tarnished indeed but it offers a nice contrast with the 14k case. Furthermore, I love how it’s all carved in one silver disc and the roman numerals on the second subdial add a touch of originality.
The watch has not been engraved and I must say, the finishing on the sides and back of the case is still in pristine condition.
