Striking antique Fritz Allamand 18K gold demi hunter pocket watch made in London, England in 1926 and in amazing condition. The watch preserves the original movement; this has been checked in order to provide an optimal performance. It comes in its original storing case, with the manufacturerss name (ALLAMAND BROTHERS 3006) in golden lettering and printed on the lids inner white-satin lining. The case hides a compartment with two spare glasses and a spring, all of them original from the time. The case is in great condition: the outside dark-red leatherette covering and the inner blue-velvet lining are very well preserved. The same can be said about the watchs casing, with a non-decorated gold front cap which shows no signs of wear of scratches. Around the gap that makes it possible to see the dial we can see the Roman numerals that mark the hours. Its inner side bears several hallmarks which identify the gold it is made of; the piece that connects the crown and the casing bears a hallmark too. If we lift the front cap we will see the complete white dial, with pear or spade-type cobalt-blue hands, black Roman numerals and the brand and model in black lettering: ALLAMAND BROTHERS, LONDON 3006. The rear cap is adorned with a gorgeous hand-engraved acronym composed of the initials APB, intertwined and decorated of multiple tiny details. Under this cap we find the dustcap, also made of gold, with hallmarks and with no decoration at all. The movement that rests under this piece shows some fine hand-engraved inscriptions in cursive lettering, including the manufacturers name and address and the model. Attractive and authentic, this antique Allamand 18K gold demi hunter pocket watch is an old-time jewel almost one century old. Dimensions: Width: 41 mm. Weight: 66 g.
