Description
Based on the visual details of the internal mechanism, this is an antique Swiss-style pocket watch movement, likely dating from the early 20th century (circa 1900–1930).
Movement Details
The image reveals several key characteristics common to high-quality European pocket watches from this era:
Gilt Bridge Movement: The plates and bridges have a gold-colored finish, typical of Swiss manufacturing.
"Haute Précision" Marking: The large winding wheel is engraved with "HAUTE PRÉCISION," indicating a high-grade movement designed for accuracy.
Jeweled Movement: Visible red rubies (jewels) are used at pivot points to reduce friction and wear.
Stem-Wind Mechanism: The watch is wound by turning the crown at the top, a standard feature for watches from the 1920s.
Based on the visual features of your pocket watch, it is a vintage Swiss "Farmer's watch" (often referred to by the French term "Belle Époque" or "Farmarur"). These watches are characterized by colorful hand-painted enamel dials featuring agricultural themes like cows, farmers, and floral garlands.
Key Identification Features
Design Style: This specific style was popularized by several Swiss brands in the mid-to-late 20th century (roughly 1960s–1980s).
Likely Brands: While the dial in your image is unsigned, very similar models were produced by brands such as Indus, Aero Watch Neuchâtel, Bucherer, Arsa, and Catorex.
Movement: Most of these watches house a manual-wind mechanical movement, frequently a 17-jewel Swiss calibre like the Unitas (UT) 6431/6445.
Case: Typically made of nickel-plated metal or silver-tone base metal, often featuring a relief engraving of a farm scene or cattle on the back cover.
