Fine Vintage Zenith 8-Day Chronometer
Double Mahogany Boxes

A fine vintage Swiss movement Zenith chronometer made for the Vail Watch Company, USA, double boxed and in good working order. This clock has kept accurate time since it was wound over 12-hours ago, we haven't tracked it to the second but it's certainly running close.

This is a smaller than average chronometer, more along the size of a pocket watch.

Measures 3" (76mm) across the face with a 2 1/4" (57mm) dial. It is approx. 1 5/8" and the back unscrews so it's not necessary to remove it from the box for inspection.
The brass case shows some surface scratches and wear, the locking lever is slightly bent but will turn into a locking position with a little effort.
Small wood box measures 5" x 5" x 5"
larger outer case is 7 1/2" x 7 5/8" x 7 3/4" with a flared out bottom plate.

Vail Watch Company U.S.A.

8-Days , Number of Jewels appears to have been scratched out, Three-3- Adjust, Zenith Swiss

Please view the photographs below to see the condition for yourself, better than I can describe.

We have a number of fine Chronometers being listed this week, please have a look at my other items as combined shipment is encouraged and we have some very fine and rare items available.

SHIPMENT FOR CHRISTMAS: Please note that we are in the final days of shipping that can be guaranteed before the Christmas Holidays commence. I would suggest and encourage faster transport options like Xpresspost if delivery as a gift is a necessity. International buyers outside of North America will have to use Xpress or Priority as Surface parcel takes 6-10 weeks on average.
