About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Bourguin Geneve STYLE / REFERENCE: Pendant Pocket Watch METAL / MATERIAL: Silver DIMENSIONS: Diameter 32mm CIRCA: 1840's MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Verge Fuzee DIAL / HANDS: Original Enamel, Roman Numbers / Blued Steel Breguet Hands WARRANTY: 12 months on the movement. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This early Genovese pocket watch has an original verge fuzee movement. Remarkably, as old as it is the dial is excellent and it still has its original blued steel hands in the Breguet Style. As can be seen in the photo the Breguet Engine Turned back shows very little wear. It is unique to find a watch this old that appears to have never been used. This watch runs well and if you had the imagination to wear it on occasion you could depend on it.

He was also the brother of renowned biologist Louis Agassiz. Agassiz started the company with two partners, lawyers Henri Raiguel and Florian Morel. The company's original name was Raiguel Jeune & Cie. In 1846, Raigeul and Morel retired from the watch industry, leaving Agassiz as sole company head. Several years later, Agassiz brought in his bright, enterprising nephew, trained economist Ernest Francillon, into the business. Francillon was the mastermind behind several impressive innovations that would distinguish the company from its competitors. In 1880, Francillon trademarked the Longines name and its winged hourglass logo. The winged hourglass is a symbol of precision and timekeeping, and it has become one of the most recognizable logos in the watch industry. In 1912, Longines became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games. The company has held this position ever since, and it has been involved in every Olympic Games since then. Longines has also been the official timekeeper of many other major sporting events, including the World Championships in Athletics, the Formula One World Championship, and the America's Cup. In 1931, Longines invented the Lindbergh Hour Angle watch...

Verge Crown Wheel Key Winding 18K Yellow Gold Ornate Pocket Watch
Located in Washington Depot, CT
Verge Crown Wheel Key Winding 18K Yellow Gold Ornate Pocket Watch Approx. 48 mm in diameter, 18 mm thick Stamped SH JW with English Gold Hallmarks inside the case. Date mark of F with square box around it. 61.3 dwt / 95.4g The verge (or crown wheel) escapement is the earliest known type of mechanical escapement, the mechanism in a mechanical clock that controls its rate by allowing the gear train to advance at regular intervals or 'ticks'. Its origin is unknown. Verge escapements were used from the late 13th century until the mid 19th century in clocks and pocketwatches. The name verge comes from the Latin virga, meaning stick or rod.[1] Its invention is important in the history of technology, because it made possible the development of all-mechanical clocks. This caused a shift from measuring time by continuous processes, such as the flow of liquid in water clocks...
