I am please to offer from my private collection this MUSEUM antique early 19th Century French Fusee Cylinder escapement Calendar Doctors Memento Mori SKULL/SKELETON pocket watch by Chailly a Lille
Rare watch with a central seconds hand and calendar!
Amazing fancy colored enamel dial.
High grade complicated fusee cylinder movement with a hand pierced balance cock and silver regulator disc.
Please note,that it is very hard to find a fusee cylinder watch. To find a fusee cylinder with calendar and central seconds hand is near impossible! This is the very first watch of that kind that I ever saw!
Note that this is not an ordinary verge fusee movement,but a special fusee CYLINDER movement,which was the next generation movement,which sent the verge movements to the history.The new fusee cylinder escapement gives a better precision compare to the old verge fusee watches!
The watch has an amazing gild silver chased case representing a skeleton holding the Memento Mori flags,and the Eternal Snake.The watch is 54mm in diameter.
