Re: Pocket Watches.

Couldn't resist this one when I found it on ebay. Miniature French pocket watch marked A Montaigut Ursat. The watch has a silver case 30mm in diameter, hand chased with a vase of flowers on the rear door. The face is porcelain with roman numerals interspersed with gold stars. When it arrived the minute hand was intact and made of gold, the hour hand had broken and only the boss remained. My selection of spares is near non existent at this size so the spade hour hand was the best I could do till I find a matching set. The watch has now run for forty plus hours and lost only 3minutes, pretty good for a watch of this age.
