A stunning 19th-century antique pocket watch featuring a solid silver hunter-style case with intricate engine-turned engravings. The white enamel dial is a highlight, decorated with hand-painted floral motifs, Roman numerals, and elegant gold-tone Louis XIV-style hands. The inner dust cover (cuvette) is signed "Cylindre huit rubis," identifying the 8-jewel cylinder movement within. This timepiece is a classic example of European craftsmanship, combining functional horology with the decorative arts of the Victorian era. It features a key-wind and key-set mechanism, typical of mid-1800s design.
