Old pocket watch enamel dial black numerals vintage metal to be determined

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique pocket watch, shown on its side, offering a detailed view of its dial. The case has a metallic, matte finish, with no precise indication of the material, in accordance with the "metal to be determined" mentioned in the keywords. The winding crown is visible at the top, round in shape with a classic ring, typical of traditional pocket watches.

The dial is white enamel, with black Arabic numerals for the hours (1 to 12), and small red numerals for the minutes, arranged inside the hour circle. The numerals are clearly legible, printed in black and red, making it easy to read the time. A sub-second dial is integrated at 6 o'clock, with a thin hand and precise graduations. The main hands, in an openwork style, are black, with intricate patterns visible on the minute hand.

The bezel of the case is smooth, with no apparent decoration, and the dial shows no visible signature or mark on the exposed face. There is a slight patina and some signs of wear on the metal, consistent with the presumed age of the watch. No crystal is visible in this photo, leaving the dial exposed. The dial also shows some signs of use, particularly around the central axis and along the edge.

The general style of the dial, the typography, and the presence of the sub-second dial at 6 o'clock suggest production from the late 19th or early 20th century, without being able to be more precise in the absence of specific inscriptions or signatures.

The watch is photographed on a raw wooden surface, in an old interior setting, reinforcing its vintage and authentic character.

Did you know? Pocket watches were essential accessories for men's wardrobes from the 19th century until the early 20th century, before the advent of the wristwatch. The enamelled dial, very common at that time, offered great resistance to wear and excellent legibility.
