Discover a piece of horological history with this stunning 19th-century Ottoman market pocket watch. This timepiece features a hand-painted enamel dial with traditional "Eastern Arabic" (Ottoman) numerals and floral accents, signed by the renowned "K. Serkisoff & Co. Constantinople." The movement is a high-quality "Billodes" (the early trade name for Zenith) Swiss-made mechanical movement, key-wound and set. Housed in a solid silver case with intricate floral engraving along the bezel and an unengraved cartouche on the reverse, this watch represents the peak of Swiss craftsmanship tailored for the Turkish elite. Includes the original winding key and chain.
