Description:
Beautiful Portable Wristwatch, with a Gnomon that represents a duckling, with the Nº 16 engraved on one of its sides. The compass occupies the entire diameter of the watch case. The compass has a side lever to fix the needle, lever that is loose. The compass crystal is broken and the box has some dents. At the rear of the Gnomon, there is a small perforated bolt, which would probably have some function. It is probably done in England. Interesting piece of collection, and rare to find. They exhibit the wear and tear of their time, as well as some blemishes. They have minor flaws. The data provided here are unconfirmed personal opinions.

Comments:
The above measures belong to the Closed Watch.

Diameter Case:

Height: 5"6 cm
