About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Henry Danial Capt STYLE / REFERENCE: Quarter Repeater / Half Hunter METAL / MATERIAL: 18kt Yellow Gold CIRCA / YEAR: 1900's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Diameter 53mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 31 Jewels / High Grade / Lever Slide Repeat Mechanism DIAL / HANDS: Kiln Fired Enamel with Roman Numerals / Blued Steel WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT Henry-Daniel Capt was a Swiss watch maker working in the 1900th century. He was renowned for creating complicated watches and music boxes which he frequently integrated together. He was one of the first watchmakers to use a pinned cylinder for music in a watch. This entirely hand constructed watch was made at the height of European Master Watchmaking. The finish is at the highest level and the basic ebauch or movement caliber is the same as used by Patek Philippe. The watch has just been serviced by our team. The enamel dial is in mint condition and the case is sharp and crisp as well. If you are looking for a premier collectors watch this is the one for you.

FACTORY / HOUSE: Howard Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: 12 Size / Open Faced Pocket Watch METAL / MATERIAL: Yellow Gold Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1918 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Diameter 47mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 19 Jewels / High Grade DIAL / HANDS: Original Kiln Fired Enamel / Blued Steel Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Gold Filled Chain / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will service it for you as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This great looking and classic man's pocket watch is still fitted with a flawless and original Kiln Fired Dial. These dials were made of glass and fired in a furnace at 1500 degrees. The watch is all original as well, still with its original blued steel hands. The watch is very dependable even now, but it should be serviced (which we will do included in the price). The cuvette is finely engraved with a presentation to a Captain Keller. Wherever he is, his watch is still running and will continue to run for another 200 years with a service occasionally.
