Interesting movement, double face with perpetual calendar and moon phases fitted in a working case. This double-sided pocket watch is very unusual. This watch movement is of very high quality and would have been intended for a large and heavy gold huntingcase. It is possible that due to its unusual nature it was never sold and never left the Swiss manufacturer as a complete watch but simply put in what might be termed a ‘’working case’’.
