Museum piece: Jumping hour
Friends,
One interesting museum piece got to see was this one: a Pocket Watch from circa 1830.
On the dial side it has a jumping hour window and a wheel minute display. The dial itself has a very nice guilloche pattern.
The case back has a floral decoration in black champlevé enamel art work.
The pocket watch is made by Moynier, one of the associate to Bautte and Moulinié.
The movement is a cylinder movement with key-wind and key-set.
The movement is undecorated, no misplaced holes, no tool marks….
This watchmaker really knew what he was doing!
Best
Blomman

By revisiting the past....
It is easier to understand how and why the present looks like it does! :) Thank you, Robin. Best Blomman
