The beautiful matching original blued steel Breguet style hands with matching Breguet style split second hands. The 1/4 second Foudroyante subsidiary dial located at six o'clock with a blued steel seconds hand.
Case: The heavy gold case (148 grms) with a plain front and back cover. This watch has a winder but in actual fact this is a keywind watch. The two small buttons on the side of the case are for the independent seconds hands. The inner cover has three keyholes for the going barrel, the independant seconds barrel and for setting the hands.
Movement: The complex movement which is nickel finished and fully jewelled throughout is fully signed Huguenin Berthoud Locle. The two barrels in the movement are for the time keeping and for the independant seconds. The escapement is lever.
This watch is rare and important as it is an early example of a split second and 1/4 second beating with Foudroyante meaning lightening speed. a very complex watch to design and build. This watch would make a great addition to one's collection.

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...
