24-Hour Watch Manufactured in 1910. Exclusive and Original Piece. Well-Preserved and in Working Order
Original 24-hour watch of Swiss origin, manufactured in 1910. These types of watches are also known as "miners' watches" or "North Pole watches," as they are designed for use in places where darkness lasts all day long. The dial of these timepieces displays all twenty-four hour numbers, allowing the wearer to clearly determine whether it is day or night. This is a very rare and special type of watch that will undoubtedly be valued as it deserves by pocket watch collectors.
The watch case is made of white metal, which displays an attractive darkened patina that lends it great elegance and aesthetic appeal. The watch has no front cover, so the white dial-which is in magnificent condition-is directly visible, as is the crystal that protects it. As noted above, the dial displays the twenty-four numbers in black, with those corresponding to the second half of the day (starting at two in the afternoon) marked by a series of small red numerals indicating the numbers one through twelve, which are commonly used to denote the hours. The watch also features a seconds hand at the bottom and the classic outer ring that marks the minutes. The word "Chronometer" is printed at the top of the dial.
If we lift the back cover, we'll discover a stamp on its inner surface bearing the letter A, the inscription "REGENCE STYLE," and the serial number 299315. The number 11 is also engraved on the stamp. The dust cover also displays a series of inscriptions engraved in elegant, varied typefaces, detailing the characteristics of the watch's movement and the number of jewels (15 rubies) it contains. Beneath this cover lies the movement itself, in very good condition and featuring a beautiful design in gold and silver-plated metal.
The rarity and originality of this magnificent watch, as well as its excellent functioning, will undoubtedly catch the eye of even the most discerning collector.
