Awesome Antique J.Trilla Solid-Gold Pocket Watch. Double Dial. Switzerland, Circa 1890 Wonderful antique pocket watch made by Jaime Trilla in Geneva, Switzerland in the late 19th century (circa 1890). The watch mounts solid-gold 18K casing and double dial time dial and calendar/moon phase dial. It comes in its original solid wooden case, inside covered by red velvet and white silk. The silk lining bears the printed manufacturers shield and name. Jaime Trilla was a famous watchmaker from Barcelona who from a very young age traveled to Switzerland to learn. Years after he came back to Barcelona and opened a watch shop; at the same time, he maintained a watch factory in Tavannes, Switzerland. His watches are considered high-quality pieces, real state-of-the-art jewels like the one that we can see in the images. The watch is in very good condition, showing only some slight signs of the trace of time in the dials. The movements have been fully cleaned and tuned so we can state that today the watch works perfectly. The time dial is white with black Roman numerals; it is decorated with fine gilt details in the center and along the peripheral edge. It also bears the printed manufactured name, Jaime Trilla Geneve. The calendar and moon phase dial is gorgeous and shows a central hand surrounded by a golden calendar with the days of the month. Just over the hand there is a central aperture where we can see the present month. The days of the week are printed in a silvery cartouche located along the most peripheral band. In the center of the dial, a moon-shaped opening shows the moon phases on a blue and golden steel disc. The casing is also a very singular piece. The front and rear caps are made of solid gold and are decorated with fine hand-engraved motives, in really good condition. Inside the front cap we can see the serial number 95363, the 18K gold hallmark and the Swiss assay mark. As for the movements, the two ones are amazing examples of quality and precision. The calendar movement bears the same serial number (95363) engraved at the back. This outstanding gold double-dial pocket watch, signed by Jaime Trilla, is a very antique piece that shows an amazing working order. It is surely worthy of inclusion in a great museum devoted to timepieces. Medidas: Ancho: 50 mm. Alto (con Corona): 65 cm
