GIANT SIZE 67 MM LEMANIA CAL. 19/23\" GOLIATH CHRONOGRAPH POCKET WATCH c. 1890
Up for sale is a very collectible Lemania giant size Chronograph Regulator, with a splendid Art Nouveau bicolor dial, in good overall condition.
This is anything but usual. Considering the dial layout, the movement finishing or the case size and style, this may have been used as a Railway Regulator and probably manufactured for one of the European rail services.
* The norm for the regular gents pocket watches are 45-52mm. Goliath pocket watches start at around 59-60mm (see for example: Vacheron Constantin - Chronometre Royal - 59mm).
This is a giant size 67.5mm chronograph pocket watch, with a weight of ca. 195 grams. Please check the 1st picture, against a couple Omega pocket watches at more regular 45-49mm .
* The Omega pocket watches in pictures are only for display, in order to make a rough idea about size and NOT part of the sale!!
The original enamel jumbo dial is in very good condition. Dial features black Roman numerals, black minute track and recessed seconds and minute counter and red chronograph Tachymeter scale, and is fitted with a lovely pair of gilt Poire hands in good condition.
The low dome celluloid crystal is most likely original to the watch. Crystal has turned yellow from age, however dial is pristine white and so is the painting.
Lovely nickel case opens and closes nicely with a crisp sound, and shows various signs of wear like scratches or dents to the basin or back, or visible open marks.
Inside case back matching serial # 427.***. I would date the watch to ca. 1890's.
The movement has a winding mechanism through the crown at twelve. High quality, 19/23\" lig. Lepine, 15 jewels, frost gilt finish movement.
Diameter of the watch excluding the pendant is ~67.5 mm. Including pendant ~96 mm. Thickness is ~18 mm. All the imperfections are presented in picture.
Watch is sold in as found condition! The watch is working but was not observed for accuracy thus i would suggest checking with a watchmaker or servicing before any use.
Any other defects not mentioned in description but visible in the pictures will be considered as described.
The watch, like all the items i sell, is Guaranteed 100% Authentic and as Described.
