Elegant antique French silver pocket watch signed “CHRONOMÈTRE Feuvrier – ÉPINAL” on the dial. This substantial period pocket watch is associated with Charles Feuvrier and the horological workshops of Épinal, a French centre of watchmaking and watch regulation. The white enamel dial is signed “CHRONOMÈTRE Feuvrier ÉPINAL” and features elegant black Arabic numerals, fine minute markings and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock. The original period hands are retained. The enamel dial has a visible historical repair between approximately 4 and 5 o’clock. This is clearly visible in the photographs and should be taken into consideration when assessing the condition. The watch is fitted with a mechanical hand-wound lever movement with a traditional gilt finish. The inner cuvette/movement markings include: - CHRONOMÈTRE N° 48963 - ANCRE - 15 RUBIS - SPIRAL BREGUET The movement features a compensated balance and Breguet hairspring, characteristic of a higher-grade period movement. Historical Feuvrier Documentation Included with the listing is a period postcard depicting the workshops of the “Association ouvrière d’horlogerie d’Épinal – Ch. Feuvrier”, with the caption: “Une partie des Ateliers du Montage et du Réglage des Montres” The historical postcard provides particularly interesting context for the Feuvrier – Épinal signature found on the dial of this watch. It is included as historical documentation and is not claimed as proof that this particular watch was assembled in the workshop shown.
