Gabriel. A Very Rare and Important Gold Karrusel Keyless Fusee Lever, Free Sprung with Power Reserve, Half Hunter Pocket Watch C1901
Dial: The excellent cream coloured dial with Roman numeral outer minute track subsidiary seconds at nine o'clock and subsidiary dial for power reserve at three o'clock. The rare original double Fleur d' Lis hour hand and matching minute hand in blued steel together with the original seconds hand and the original blued steel arrow hand for the power reserve dial. The dial is signed Gabriel and is numbered as well.
Case: The massive 18ct gold half hunter case (195grms) with blue enameled Roman numerals to the front of the case, with a plain case back and a plain inner cover as well. The five knuckle hinge with anti theft pendant, hand set to the side of the case and winding safety button oppersite. The case is Englished Hallmarked for 1901.
Movement: This very rare and important movement with keyless fusee lever escapement, free sprung, compensation balance and blued overcoil hairspring all built on a platform which revolves once every 52 minutes. The movement is chain driven fully signed Gabriel Cornhill, London.
This pocket watch is indeed a rarity. Never have I seen a Karrusel watch with keyless fusee, power reserve and being free sprung. The case the movement and the dial which I believe to a Willis dial one of the most pre- eminent dial makers of his time all shows that this watch is one of the finest pocket watches ever produced by an English watchmaker.

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...
