Featured Old Pocket Watch

Thank you for the Answers.
I tried that Chatbot too, nice toy:

"As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, but yes, I know about Sigerist watches. Sigerist is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1938, known for its high-quality mechanical watches. The company is focused on creating classic and elegant designs, often using premium materials such as gold or diamonds. Sigerist watches are considered a symbol of Swiss precision and craftsmanship, and they are popular among watch enthusiasts and collectors."

Tried the same with an old Bicycle Brand and the answers change in content depending on the language you use.

But I think the clock is older than it can be from the Sigerist Freres.
so would it be worth repairing?

 

i donno but the screws looks not all handmade or antique imo

 

Yes it is a "fusee" pocket watch. It is key wound and key set (nut holding the hour & minute hands). Was driven by a fine chain (which is oft times broken and missing). This one has a box hinge which is very desirable. It looks all original, although originally it may have had an outer case (?). The case is probably silver which was common. Popular in the 1700's and into the early 1800's. Hand made, so each was a piece of art and unique. Many time the ornate, grill like back plate was constructed of gold. This one looks in great condition and if I owned it I would definitely have it repaired by a "qualified jeweler".

 

I'd have it looked at by a qualified...watchmaker !

 

You're right! Sometimes my brain clogs up and I pick a word that's close but exactly correct.

 

don't worry bout it.........it takes a village !!

lately , I type only half of what I'm thinking and want to say....
it's getting me in trouble...............but do I fret..... no way !!!

it's all good , Bro !!!!

 

It IS Russian owed and is under the direct control of Russian government which means Putin. I would not recommend anyone to use its services.

 

I would recommend AGAINST using it , at all costs !!
