Absolutely beautiful, antique  hunter case, ladies pocket watch.  It is adorned with jewels and makes a stunning pendant. Front of case has a floral design. The center of the flower is set with a lovely rose cut diamond weighing an estimated 35 points. Rosecut diamonds encircle the larger stone. Four flower petals surround the center, each bordered with cabochon turquoise stones of varying color.  Set in the center are rose cut diamonds of about 10 points each. Four little tulip flowers set with rose cut diamonds also emanate from the center. The quality of the piece is further evidenced by the decoration on the back of the case.  A circle of turquoise beads envelops a rose cut diamond of approximately 30 points. The maker of the watch is unknown although I believe it to be of Swiss origins. The face of the dial has blue Roman numerals and is in fine condition. Within the movement are the French words "Avance" and "Retard" along with the number "1593" that appear on the inside of the inner case. The case itself tests 18 Kt gold throughout and probably is French although I can find no marks. Measures 1-1/2" by 1-1/2" exclusive of the knob and has very notable weight. Dates to approximately the 1880's and is a real stunner. Great original condition barring the non-working movement. Chain is for display purposes only.
