Fine and rare continental 18K gold pinned cylinder musical quarter hour repeater antique
pocket watch signed Breguet, circa 1810.
Beautifully engraved gilt cylinder escapement movement. Fine white enamel dial (repaired edge chip)
with black and gold markings and gold Breguet hands. Substantial plain polish case with
decorative band with button to play the music at will. Gilt brass dust cover. The hands are a few
minutes out of syn with the repeater.
Musical watches with pinned cylinders are much scarcer than those using pinned discs. Lovely tune.
When the pendant is depressed this watch chimes the hours and quarters on gongs with
loud and clear tones.
Abraham Louis Breguet was perhaps the greatest watchmaker of all time. His fame was so
great that many of his contemporaries signed his name to their products. This fine watch
was not made by Breguet.
