In my 50 years of watchmaking I have never seen this combination of complications.
I have not counted all the jewels but everything has end stones that should have them, even the hammers are jeweled.  I would guess it has around 30 jewels.  Original hands
and it has a perfect glass crystal.
  This is a high quality German made E. Moser fine silver pocket watch. Measures about 49 millimeters in diameter.
 Key wind and set from the back.  One winding square is to set the hands, one to wind the time and one for winding the "Sweep second hand".

    The case is in excellent condition, no dent's or dings.   Fine rose engine turning on case.  No initials.  
You activate the slide on the side of the case for the watch to strike.  
The watch has just been serviced and keeps good time.  All functions work great.  We will be listing many fine watches so please check back to our store.
All watches can be inspected at our store in the center square  at Gettysburg PA.
Thank You!
