About the Item
J.M. Badollet & Cie Geneve. A Gold and Enamel Keyless Lever Half Hunter Quarter Repeater Pocket Watch C1880.

Case: The 18ct yellow gold Half Hunter case with beautiful translucent enamel surrounding the aperture of pink and blue with blue enamel Roman numerals. The plain case back opening to reveal the inner case back which is engraved with a description of the movement and the makers name J M Badollet & Cie A Geneve. The cases are all Swiss hallmarked and stamped with the makers mark. The repeater slide is at the side of the case.
Movement: The superb gilt metal fully jewelled movement with Wolf's tooth winding, breguet overcoil hairspring and compensation balance. The watch cimes beautifully as the hammers and gongs are clearly visible.
This watch is an excellent example of Swiss craftsmanship at it's best. The Badollet family, since settling in Geneva in 1555, was one of the first family dynasties to contribute to the founding of the great watchmaking tradition. Since 1635, several Master Watchmakers have followed on and the brand’s reputation soon crossed the borders of Switzerland while retaining its base in Geneva. Its international prestige has been reinforced by its presence in Paris in the 18th century, in London in the 19th and in Philadelphia in the 20th century. This watch would make an excellent addition to one's collection.

The History Henry Moser & Cie, often referred to as the 'Russian Swiss' company, was founded by Johann Heinrich Moser in Le Locle, Switzerland. Recognizing a vast market opportunity in Russia, the company strategically directed all its production efforts toward catering to the Russian market. Johann Heinrich Moser, born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, hailed from a family of watchmakers. He honed his craft in Le Locle before relocating to Russia in the 1820s. Setting up a watch workshop in St. Petersburg in 1826, he adopted the anglicized name 'Henry Moser.' By 1828, Moser had established a trade office in St. Petersburg, expanding to Moscow in 1831. He even secured a residence permit for Nizhny Novgorod. Through the Nizhny Novgorod fair, Moser's watches found their way from Russia to India and China. Components were sourced from Le Locle and assembled in St. Petersburg. Some watch cases and dials were crafted in Moscow, evident from inscriptions like "H. MOSER IN MOSCOW." Moser's factory produced a diverse range of pocket watches for men...Category
