Antique VOLTA Swiss Made Pocket Watch Minute Repeater Chronograph 14K Gold F/S

Description: I hope you get your hands on some good Japanese stuff! ^^ This is a VOLTA (Swiss made) pocket watch made around 1896. The minute repeater is designed to indicate the time with an audible sound. A video of the actual product is also available separately. If you would like to see a video of the actual watch, please let us know in the “Questions” section. By pressing the button at the bottom of 6 o'clock, three different sounds will be made. (For example, if it is 4:52, it will sound 1) 4 times, 2) 3 times, 3) 7 times, and so on.The chronograph is a stopwatch function. Pressing the top of the crown starts the central long hand moving, pressing it again stops it, and pressing it again returns it to its original position. It is amazing to think that such a function was incorporated into a small watch more than 100 years ago.Theoretically, it is safe to enjoy pressing it as many times as you like, but since it is an antique, it may lead to malfunctions. However, as it is an antique, it may lead to malfunctions. The overhaul history is unknown, but it is a collectible from Japan. It is in good condition with little rust and scratches as shown in the pictures. （The watch is in good condition with no rust or scratches as shown in the pictures. For practical and permanent use, please have the watch overhauled regularly.) The 52mm solid gold hunter case alone is precious, but the front and back surfaces are wonderfully crafted. Enameled pieces are prone to peeling and deterioration over time, but this one remains in very good condition. The workmanship is also excellent. This level of workmanship should be hard to find. (It was very difficult to photograph, so the image is wavy, but in reality it appears to be all shikon (purple-blue)).Both the front, back, and inner case are nicely tight with no gaps. There are no problems with opening and closing. As with all HunterCase products, when opening the front case, press the dragon head with your left hand while holding the left hand and slowly open the case with your left hand. (When closing the case, press and hold the crown with your left hand and return it to its original position before lifting the crown. Please open and close the case carefully to minimize stress on the pawl and hinges.) The dial is in excellent condition. It is made of porcelain to high-end specifications. The Roman numerals are written in black, and the black color is very elegant. The simplicity of the construction will allow you to enjoy it for a long time, and it will be a plus when you let it go. To set the time, wind the crown while pressing the button at the top of 2 o'clock. Even beginners will be able to set the time and wind the mainspring smoothly. Size Approx. 52.5mm without the crown. The thickness is approximately 17mm. The weight is 103.3g.It is one of the thicker and more massive hunter cases. The solid gold case itself is also valuable due to the rising price of gold, I think that the minute repeater and the enamel work are the most wonderful features of this piece.We do not guarantee its continuous use, accuracy, or water resistance.
