You are bidding on a pristine Charles Reuge musical pocket watch. I am the second owner of this piece of art and it appears no one has ever pocketed this watch as there are only very minor scuffs due to rubbing while in case. The scene is "the fountain" also known as "the hunter scene". This watch has a 17 jewel Swiss movement but that's not quite the best part it also plays "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik". This watch also has an animation, the horse moves its head down to drink as the hunter shows his pheasant while on the right side a woman pumps water into a troth and the water appears to flow. This watch functions as intended (watch sets, alarm sets, music plays, all mechanisms move) although I have not tested it for extended periods of time, accuracy seems good. Included in the original case is the "Key" and its used to wind the musical/animation portion of the watch that will play automatically or when a button is depressed on the back of the case. The words Swiss base metal Gold plated 10 microns is inscribed inside the case-back also on the back of the watch are the words Reuge a Sainte Croix and serial number. Please view all pictures and contact me with any questions I will try my best to answer all of them accurately. I have seen this watch sell for upwards of $5000 I am listing this on the low side with a buy it now of $2100 leaving plenty of equity for the buyer. This watch is being sold AS IS that being said I will provide video of full functionality of the watch as requested I just couldn't figure out how to on ebay. Thanks for bidding and enjoy this timepiece its a work of art and unlike any you've seen....
