• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

Can any one tell me more about the watch description below?


Oliver Quartier Locle Swiss Verge Fusee key wound, 12s coin Sterling OF KWKS case, reeded along the other edge rim, Circa1820, porcelain dial marked with Roman numeral hours, Blue steel moon hands (minute hand is broken off at end of hand), Gold gilt damascening on movement, Three hinged covers, SN 39767, “LFB” engraved on dust cover and “Zt1” engraved on top of stem winder. Winding key has a split crack that causing slippage when winding (Needs new winding key). Movement needs to be cleaned. This is a substantial silver pocket watch in good condition that captures the predecessor movements of the “Verge Fusee” era. What a joy to own this evolutionary piece of watch making history...

If you really want information, a search on
'Quartier' will provide a good bit of that.

Perhaps you'll see this response before your
"For Sale" ad is spotted by the moderator :^
