ITEM DESCRIPTION:

We are putting up for sale a nice 1900s Antique Complicated Pocket Watch in this C.H. Meylan 14K Solid Gold Split Seconds Chronograph ‘Rattrapante’ Pocket Watch.  C.H. Meylan was one of the best Swiss Watch Brands from the late 19th Century until early 20th Century.  C.H. Meylan watches are known for their superb execution and they made many complicated watches which puts them in the top category of Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.  This particular example is a very nice one from C.H. Meylan with a great nickle movement and even the 14K solid gold case was made with hidden hinge. 

Condition-wise the watch winds and runs well and the split seconds chronograph works well to split the top and bottom center chronograph hands.  We do not make guarantee on timekeeping accuracy or operation.  It has not been serviced by the seller and it's under the sole discretion of the end-user in regards to service or maintenance.  For any antique watch movement we always recommend for the owner to conduct full service with qualified watchmaker to ensure longevity of the mechanism.  Cosmetically the dial has a very faint hairline cross the C.H. Meylan text on the dial running from the ‘A’ on Meylan to the edge of the dial on the right of 12 o’clock.  It is extremely faint and can only been seen with a 10X loupe.  There is also a little chip right after the ‘C.H.’ which again takes a loupe to see clearly.  These do not affect how nice the watch looks as the 14K solid gold watch case and movement are all in great condition (there is one ding to the side of the case at the 10 o’clock position).  No box or paperwork, guaranteed 100% original and authentic.  Diameter is 47mm, total weight is 73.2g.
