About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: John Hyde STYLE / REFERENCE: Open Faced Pocket Watch METAL / MATERIAL: 18Kt. Yellow Gold DIMENSIONS: Diameter 50mm YEAR / CIRCA: 1830's MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Keywind / 15 Jewels / Swiss Made DIAL / HANDS: Original Solid Gold Applied Numbers WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement. LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This magnificent solid gold keywinding pocket watch is entirely hand constructed in 18kt. gold. While being an English market watch the movement was produced in Switzerland in style of Breguet with individual plates and bridges. This was common as the two countries were invested in watchmaking technology. While being nearly 200 years old in fact, this watch is so well made that it can actually be worn and counted on to navigate your complicated day. Consider the contradiction of using your smartphone while walking around and telling time with such a remarkable device as this.
