18 carat gold minute repeater and chronograph Movado pocket watch

Here is a truly exceptional pocket watch that not only has an extremely high grade movement, but is also in spectacular condition.

Made by the Swiss watchmaking company Movado in the early 1900's, this full gents size pocket watch was made in solid 18 carat yellow gold and measures 55mm across plus the pushers on the side by 78mm to the top of the bow. The feel and heft of this pocket watch is just amazing and the case with the high polish finish feels so smooth and tactile to the touch.

Not only does this tell the time which is so easy to read with the numerals set against the white dial, but it is also a repeater pocket watch.

Repeater pocket watches come in three types - a quarter repeater that will strike the hours and which quarter the time is, for instance three gongs for 3 o'clock and one double gongs for being between 3:00 and 3:15. Then there is the five minute repeater which has a more complicated movement to tell withing five minutes and finally the creme de la creme of them all – a minute repeater. This will strike the exact time for the hours and minutes and is a real testament to the quality of this pocket watch and sounds magnificent. Repeater pocket watches of any kind are wonderful to own, but a minute repeater really does take it to a new level.

Added to this, it also has a chronograph function for timing which not only adds to the complication of the movement, but is a real testament to the quality of workmanship.

And all of this incredible movement can be seen by not just looking in the back, but the movement is also protected by a glass over the movement.

The movement has been meticulously overhauled and has the highest grade movement that our watchmaker has ever seen in a pocket watch. The quality of this repeater truly is up there with the best of the best and is a wonderfully exciting pocket watch to hold.

And then to finish this all of, it comes presented in its original fitted box which adds a further element of charm to an already incredible pocket watch.

This is truly one for any astute collector, and will certainly become a treasured and prized family heirloom.
