L. Christian & Cie, Bienne - Lepine - 50032 - 1850-1900

This antique silver gentlemen's pocket watch (ca. 1890–1910) is a beautiful, classic open-face (lepine) model. The watch is equipped with a clear white enamel dial featuring graceful gold Louis XV-style hands, black Roman numerals, and a recessed seconds hand at the 6 o'clock position. The edges and the back of the case are richly decorated with a detailed floral relief. This model is a so-called remontoir, which means that the watch is wound manually via the crown on the top lid rather than with a separate winding key. The mechanical cylinder movement features 6 rubies (Cylindre 6 Rubis). The inside of the case back shows clear, original markings bearing witness to authenticity. In the lid is the silver hallmark 0.800, guaranteeing the content of solid silver. This fineness is set in a shield-shaped stamp together with the letters 'L&C' (L. Christian & Cie, Bienne), the official maker's mark. Below that is the unique serial number 50032, with an impressed letter X underneath. The pocket watch is in neat and working condition. The case closes properly and shows a handsome, age-appropriate patina. On the enamel dial, around the 7- and 8-o'clock positions, there is a characteristic, old restoration or glaze damage visible, which is appropriate for a utilitarian item of this age and emphasizes its antique look. Will be shipped by registered and insured mail.
