Gold Minute Repeater Swiss Pocket Watch

This handsome gold pocket watch by D. Borgeat, Geneva is an exemplary specimen of superior Swiss workmanship. Ornately engraved 18K yellow gold encases the timepiece, which tells the time on a silver dial engraved with elaborate gilt decoration in a foliate and scroll motif. Blued steel hands point to Roman and Arabic numerals, and a subsidiary seconds dial sits at 6 o'clock. Boasting a minute repeater, this watch chimes the time at the push of a button with supreme accuracy.
