Rather than the standard 12-hour configuration, the white enamel face carries both a 12-hour outer chapter ring and a complete 24-hour inner track in vivid red Arabic numerals - a feature associated with railway workers, telegraph operators, and travellers who needed to read the time in both conventions at a glance. The combination is rare to find intact and in running order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is silver, lever-opening to reveal a gilded Swiss lever movement and a polished dome dust cover. The outer caseback is the visual highlight: fully engraved with flowing Belle Epoque scrollwork, floral motifs, and two birds in flight flanking a blank shield cartouche that was never personalised - the engraving remains crisp and well-defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dial is signed by Gransar-Bricout of Bohain, a French horloger-bijoutier from the Aisne region of northern France whose name appears on dials made to order for local clientele - a common and charming practice among provincial French retailers of the era. The movement runs well and the push-button hand-setting functions correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gransar-Bricout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239730237779,"sku":"PW-0004","price":300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/3121\/3907\/files\/gransar-bricout-silver-pocket-watch-c1895-front.jpg?v=1783550064","url":"https:\/\/estatecollection.nl\/products\/gransar-bricout-silver-pocket-watch-dual-24-hour-dial-engraved-caseback-c-1895","provider":"The Estate Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
