White enamel dial, Breguet numerals, c.1913.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA full-size Belle Époque Vacheron \u0026amp; Constantin: 48.9mm of solid 18ct yellow gold, 78.7 grams of watch, made in Geneva around 1913 and sold new by J. Neubauer of Verviers, a jeweller in the prosperous Belgian textile town, in the last years before the First World War. The retailer's name is still engraved inside, next to the maker's; between the two of them, the watch carries both its maker and the shop counter it first crossed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is the heart of it. White enamel with black Breguet-style Arabic numerals and a sub-seconds register at six, it is clean and bright with no chips and no hairline cracks. Enamel of this age has usually collected damage somewhere along the way; this one has come through more than a century whole, under slim gold baton hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case matches it: bright polish, crisp bezel and edges, the caseback and inner cuvette both closing with a firm, precise snap. Behind them the frosted gilt keyless lever movement winds smoothly, sets cleanly and runs well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is part of the pleasure of this watch. At nearly 79 grams it announces the metal every time it is picked up: a full-size dress watch from the age when Geneva's oldest house made them without economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe marks, the movement and the condition are set out piece by piece in the drawers below; the three signatures and the retailer's mark are recorded in The Record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vacheron \u0026amp; Constantin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54467171385683,"sku":"PW-0117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1080\/3121\/3907\/files\/vacheron-constantin-18k-yellow-gold-pocket-watch-1_hero.jpg?v=1785676557","url":"https:\/\/estatecollection.nl\/products\/white-enamel-breguet-dial-in-solid-18ct-gold-c-1913","provider":"The Estate Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
