Roskopf, Nickel, 24-Hour Dial, c.1910s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA solidly built Swiss Roskopf-type pocket watch in nickel, with a distinctive 24-hour inner chapter ring in red, made by the Société Horlogère de Reconvilier, one of the major producers of the early 20th-century Roskopf movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Roskopf movement was the great democratiser of Swiss watchmaking. Invented by Georg Friedrich Roskopf in 1867, it was designed from the outset to be a reliable timepiece that the working man could afford. In the hands of Reconvilier, one of the main producers from 1902 onward, the concept was built to a high mechanical standard, and their watches regularly turn up still running over a century later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example dates to the 1910s and carries a white enamel dial with bold black Arabic numerals, a railway minute track, and a vivid red inner ring marking 13 to 24. It is a dual-format, civilian and 24-hour dial, a feature associated with railway, military, and telegraph timekeeping. The case interior is stamped 'S.H.R. 4110' - the maker's mark and the calibre number - and the dial is signed 'Gre. Roskopf' (a trade name used by S.H.R. under licence from the Roskopf estate).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning very well. Mechanically the watch is in excellent working order - it winds, sets, and runs correctly with a strong mainspring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Société Horlogère de Reconvilier (S.H.R.)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247930265939,"sku":"PW-0054","price":175.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/3121\/3907\/files\/unsigned-swiss-nickel-pocket-watch-c1900-front.jpg?v=1783614567","url":"https:\/\/estatecollection.nl\/products\/swiss-nickel-pocket-watch-gre-roskopf-24-hour-dial-sub-seconds-c-1900-1915","provider":"The Estate Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
