A bi-colour hunter chronograph pocket watch, the white enamel dial with Roman numerals, subsidiary dial and centre seconds hand, to a keyless wind movement, the bi-colour case with niello decoration, depicting exotic animals and reptiles amongst foliage and flowerheads, numbered 38968, case diameter 6cm

Hairline fractures, scattered small chips and surface wear to dial. Dings and creases to case, occasional losses to case decoration with patchy wear and rubbing to niello detail. General surface wear throughout case, some gapping to case sides when cover and back are closed. Wear to gilt finish on top loop. The case is untested as silver/gold/gilt metal. The movement runs when wound and the pusher operates the centre seconds hand but we are unable to confirm whether the movement and chronograph are fully functioning and working order cannot be guaranteed. Gross weight approximately 179.5gm.
