1888 Imperial ANTIQUE Pocket Watch by Renowned Watch Maker to the Royal Russian Court • Pavel Bure / Paul Burre Royal Court Watch Maker • SWISS mechanism (Bure imported all mechanism from Switzerland and was obligated to number each one)   Silver Argent 0.875  • Standard Bure Inscription Reads: "Pavel Bure • The supplier to the Court of His Highness # 9808" • #9808 corresponds to production year of 1888 - see bottom of page • Coat of Arms Decor  • Many RUBY stones appear in mechanism (I assume they are as they are pink gems)    Approximate weight  Russian Empire appears WORKING !!!   The mechanism works,   hour and minute arrows  move   Seconds arrow is moving • Hour / minute arrows look like they were replaced Other then 2 arrows, appears completely original. My family is Russian Nobility for many generations. I found the watch when I was a little girl in our St Pete home (also location of imperial court and Paul Bure workmanship) and I kept it for 40 years moving around the world.  Please See  REAL pictures to make your own judgements :) I am by no means a watch expert but am an honest human who wants this special piece in good hands:)  AS IS no warranty for purchases under $10,000 estimated value :)  Size in height with a crown of about 65 mm (2.55"). Diameter of dial: about 42 mm (1.65"). Thickness: 12-13 mm (0.51"). The watch  looks magical and is filled with positive energy of the Nevtonoff noble lineage:) Myself included.  No cleaning or Photoshop.
