1790 VERGE FUSEE ULTRA MINIATURE 20mm 18K GOLD ENAMELED CHERUB HUGE DIAMOND
Item History & Price
I AM SELLING SOME OF MY FINEST POCKET WATCHES OUT OF MY 35 YEARS OF COLLECTING THIS MONTH – PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS! THIS IS AN EXTREMLY RARE, ULTRA SMALL, ENAMELED 18-KARAT GOLD CASE WITH HUGE DIAMOND, VERGE FUSEE, DUTCH MADE, 220 PLUS YEAR OLD POCKET WATCH IN FANTASTIC CONDITION! THIS WATCH TRULY BELONGS IN A MUSEUM.
YES, THIS WATCH IS AT LEAST 220 YEARS OLD! IT IS THE SMALLEST VERGE FUSEE I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE MOVEMENT HAS A DIAMETER OF ONLY 20mm! THAT IS ¾...”, I BELIEVE THIS IS A “9” LIGNE MOVEMENT! I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE SOMEWHAT COMPARABLE SOLD BY "ASHLAND", IT WAS NOT AS NICE IN MY OPINION, IT SOLD FOR OVER $10, 000.00.
THE 18-KARAT SOLID GOLD FANCY CASE IS 28mm IN DIAMETER! THE WATCH HAS AN APPROXIMATELY ¼ CARAT HUGE OLD EURPEAN CUT DIAMOND AT THE END OF THE STEM. THE WATCH HAS A FANTASTIC ENAMELED SCENE ON THE CASE BACK OF A WINGED CHERUB ON WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL WATER VESSEL WITH A SAIL IN FULL WIND. THE DETAIL IS INCREDIBLE AND IT IS IN NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION.
THE WATCH WINDS SMOOTHLY AND RUNS FACE UP FOR A FEW SECONDS, UP TO 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES BUT THEN STOPS. IT WILL NEED A SERVICE FOR LONG TERM RELIABILITY AND ACCURACY (not sure how accurate these 200 plus year old watches can be).
THE 18-KARAT SOLID GOLD CASE IS NEAR MINT, THE PORCELAIN DIAL IS PERFECT, THE MOVEMENT IS CRISP AND CLEAN, THE DIAMOND IS IMPRESSIVE – THIS IS TRULY A MUSEUM QUALITY WATCH IN INVESTMENT CONDITION.
THE MOVEMENT IS SIGNED “R. CRESP AMSTERDAM”. THERE IS A LARGE RED NATURAL RUBY USED AS A CAP JEWEL – NO EXPENSE WAS SPARED IN THE MAKING OF THIS INCREDIBLE WATCH.
THE WATCH HAS A MINIATURE “REGULATOR” TO SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN THE WATCH. EVEN THE REGULATOR IS FANCY AND APPEARS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BLUE ENAMELING. THE DOMED CRYSTAL IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE 18k GOLD BOW IS FANCY AND IN PERFECT CONDITION.
THE WATCH HAS THE ORIGINAL SOLID GOLD HANDS IN PERFECT CONDITION.
THIS WATCH IS SO SMALL THAT FOR MONTHS I COULD NOT FIND A KEY TO WIND AND SET THE TIME. I ENDED UP HAVE A WATCHMAKER MAKE ONE, IT COST A SMALL FORTUNE TO HAVE MADE BUT IT FITS PERFECT AND IS INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION.
SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE VERY PLEASED.
