This example pairs a Swiss manual-wind movement with a rose gold-filled case produced by the Star Watch Case Company of Elgin, Illinois - one of America's specialist case-makers, founded in 1899 and known for quality gold-filled production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is the standout: every surface covered in dense hand-engraved acanthus scrollwork, the pendant bow fluted, an uninscribed cartouche at centre back. The white enamel dial carries five applied gold star motifs at the centre and a daisy-bordered chapter ring - characteristic of the decorative fancy dials popular in the 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs. Winds smoothly, sets correctly, keeps going. The dial has hairline cracks in the lower enamel - visible on close inspection and noted honestly here. The case and movement are in good order throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wearable piece of the Edwardian era, as suited to the jewellery cabinet as the collector's display case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unsigned (Swiss)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239821857107,"sku":"PW-0025","price":165.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/3121\/3907\/files\/CB_01854-front.jpg?v=1783555375","url":"https:\/\/estatecollection.nl\/products\/swiss-ladies-pendant-watch-rose-gold-filled-acanthus-engraving-c-1900-1910","provider":"The Estate Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
