Saboneta Alpine Pocket Watch, Swiss, Solid Gold, circa 1925

In perfect condition and working order. This gold pocket watch is from the first third of the twentieth century, solid 14K gold. It is notable for the sobriety and elegance of its design, with broad Art-Deco influences. In perfect working order, the front and back covers have beautiful guilloche engraving with tight concentric diamonds and very small; being the previous decorated in its central part with a sober shield of rectilinear forms surrounded by a laurel wreath, shield that is naked of initials of the owner; in the back cover it is the same decoration but with a small central shield and, this time, round. The dial shows matte polychrome in brown tone mounted on convex copper. The hour numerals are in gold enamel, perhaps gold, following an Art-Deco pattern; the hour punctuation is also gold; on the other hand, the seconds and 24-hour numerals follow the same pattern but with a black enamel finish. The hands are of the Breguet Moon type. The seconds hand is at VI o'clock and the pendant and crown at III o'clock, on which the winding system and the time change depend. The backs of the two outer covers are contrasted. Round-caliber gilt brass movement with bridges, with anti-friction rubies; the manufacturer's logo and the reference number "273A" are engraved on the balance bridge. On the balance bridge is engraved "A", "R", "F", "S" to control the driving force - type Advance-Retard or Fast-Slow. Diameter: 50 mm.
