Gold Filled 15 Jewel QUARTER REPEATER Pocket Watch - Circa 1910 FOR MORE WATCHES AND ACCESSORIES, PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR OTHER LISTINGS!! DESCRIPTION: Excellent Working Condition!! Keeps great time and the repeater chimes perfectly, exactly on the hours and quarters. There is some minor wear to the inside covers but not on the outside apart from the bow. I believe this watch is by Magnenat-LeCoultre & Cie of Le Sentier, a swiss watch company founded by Henri Magnenat that specialized in repeating watches. The patent number on the movement is registered by them and an advertisement from the period shows a watch with a virtually identical movement. This is a quarter repeating watch, it has a slide button at the side that can be used to chime the hours and quarters, please see the video for a demonstration. The watch first chimes the number of hours, then a double chime to indicate which quarter it is (none for first quarter, 1 for second, 2 for third, and 3 for fourth). Repeaters have highly complex workings under the dial which allow for the correct hours and quarters to be chimed. CASE: Glass crystal, gold filled, open face, engraved presentation "P Moyle" on inner cover, repeater slide button at 8 o'clock. DIAL: White enamel porcelain, roman numerals, seconds dial at 6 o'clock, blue spade hands. MOVEMENT: Crown wind, 15 jewels, gilt half plate movement, lever escapement, non-magnetic overcoil hairspring, repeater complication, stamped "Swiss Made" and "Brevet (Swiss Cross) 31328" which is the patent number registered to Magnenat-LeCoultre & Cie. Diameter: 50mm Total Weight: 92g
