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.

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.
