This is a remarkable article in good working order, with natural outer case and silver inner case with hallmarks.

The inner case bears the engraved initials AJLSK; inside we can see the silver hallmark, quite worn but still visible. The gorgeous movement is signed by George Byfield, a London watchmaker who worked between 1770 and 2786, and we can also see the serial number 14120. The dial is white, with stylized black Roman numerals and gilt ‘poire’ hands.
