A watch movement carrying spares

Made circa 1920 for a Spanish market, an unusual pocket watch with an additional bridge holding in place spare components; a winding pinion, setting lever screw, bridge screw and a balance staff.


Debajo de este puente hay piezas de recambio

-

Under this bridge there are spare parts



The movement is housed in a working case and the dial absent, possiblly the watch was never finished, judging by the overall good condition of the steel work. The chequered decoration (heavily tarnished) is also unusual.


Thanks to the The K&H Watchmaking Competence Centre for the loan of this watch.
