Nicole, A. Nielsen & Co London 18K Gold Double Hunter 53mm Pocket Watch
Located in MELBOURNE, AU
This important centre second Flyback Chronograph Pocket Watch by Nicole, Nielsen & Co dates back to circa 1864, retailed by Mac Donnell & Co, Sydney (signed to the dial) It is in a great vintage condition & in excellent working order & an ultimate collector’s item - used to belong to William (Bill) Bradshaw. Invented & patented by A. Nielsen, a flyback chronograph is a type of watch that enables the chronograph function to be reset and restarted instantly with a single button press. Unlike a standard chronograph, which requires three separate steps—stopping, resetting, and starting— the flyback mechanism combines all three into one seamless action. Designed as a Double Hunter, (can be opened from both sides allowing the timepiece to stand as a desk clock) the piece is centring a white porcelain regulator format dial, featuring original hands, subsidiary seconds at 9 o'clock, hour indication subsidiary dial at 3 o'clock, minutes and the chronograph indications are on the outer radial dial which features 5-minute makers. Measuring 53mm, 18K Yellow Gold Case, with single pusher chronograph and patent Nicole Nielsen setting, has both lids numbered 7602 (same number is on a movement), bearing 18K gold stamp & English (London) hallmarks: crown, leopard head, letter date (1864) & sponsor’s mark “A.N.” – Adolphe Nielsen – who was an inventor of flyback mechanism. His initials AN are in cameo within a rectangular surround. Powered by Manual Movement, engraved “Nielsen Capt 14 Soho Square, London” and numbered 7602 (meaning the movement was designed for this particular pocket watch) Total item’s weight: 170gr. The piece comes in generic box, accompanied by watch report & 6 months warranty Nicole, Nielsen & Co. was founded in 1839 by Swiss-born watchmakers Charles Victor Adolphe Nicole and Jules Philippe Capt. By 1858, the company had moved to larger premises at 14 Soho Square, where it remained until its closure in 1934. Nicole & Capt produced movements and watches for renowned names such as E. J. Dent, Charles Frodsham, and others. From around 1870 and for the next 60 years, Nicole Nielsen was known for crafting some of the finest and most complex English watches ever made. Their work included tourbillons, chronographs, and bespoke timepieces. In 1844, Adolphe Nicole was granted British patent for a keyless mechanism for fusee...

Antique and Vintage Pocket Watches for Sale on 1stDibs

Can you pull off a vintage pocket watch? Of course you can. With a suit and a waistcoat, a pocket watch can be a refreshing alternative to a wristwatch.

The earliest pocket watches were luxury items, and, owing to cost, they weren’t commonplace until the 19th century. Artfully crafted pocket watches were a symbol of wealth, and manufacturers such as Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe became known for theirs. (Today, they’re among the most sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.)

At the onset, pocket watches resembled small round table clocks, and pulling your small round table clock — perhaps of the silver variety — out of your breast pocket in front of someone else demonstrated unequivocally that you cared about punctuality. For collectors, pocket watches are big, and that means a larger canvas provided for functions without crowding the dial. For example, the Marius Lecoultre pocket watch — made circa 1890 — does everything but uncork your wine.

In the late 1800s, the open-face pocket watch became a staple on the American railroad. It was a requirement for railway workers to wear a pocket watch, as the timepieces were responsible for keeping conductors on schedule. This was a boon to the watchmaking industry, with companies like Hamilton, the Elgin National Watch Company and the Waltham Watch Company producing high-grade and workingman’s watches.

By the 1930s, wristwatches comprised the bulk of watch manufacturing in America, superseding the pocket watch. Suddenly, if you wanted to know the time, you merely glanced at your wrist. But given their vintage charm and our general appetite for good design, pocket watches are a piece of statement-making jewelry and today can prove complementary to your formal attire in a manner that is stylish and unconventional.
