Rare 24-Hour Miner's Pocket Watch. Switzerland, Circa 1900

This amazing pocket watch is a miners watch, a 24-hour watch made of blued metal and dated in the early 20th century (circa 1900). The watch is fully original and remains in excellent working conditions. The movement has been carefully cleaned and fine-tuned, so now the watch works fine. The face is also flawless, white and shiny and with perfectly legible numbers except for a very slight fault beside the number 8 that can be seen in the pictures and that it's almost inappreciable. The blued-metal box bears lovely golden-metal details as its only decoration, including the ring, the crown and the line that frames the front glass cap. The white face bears the numbers for the 24 hours of the day, a typical feature in this type of watches.
