English, with a French movement, circa 1890. Supplied with a key.
Condition: Overall very good, the case is in good condition with a pleasing appearance and colour and the inlay is all present and correct. There is a small crack in the case above ten o’clock. The dial is clean and free from damage with the exception of a tiny loss to the left hand winding hole. The movement has been fully serviced and overhauled and is in full working condition.
