Open-Face Pocket Watch
This is an antique or vintage open-face pocket watch, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, based on its styling. The watch features a circular metal case, appearing to be silver-toned, possibly silver, nickel, or a base metal alloy, which shows some visible wear and minor tarnishing consistent with age and handling. The case is smooth with a polished finish, though dulled by time. A circular bail or bow is attached at the 12 o'clock position for attaching a chain. The dial is white or off-white, with clear, bold black Arabic numerals for hours 1 through 12. There's a subtle, almost unreadable inscription or logo below the 12 o'clock marker, which might be a manufacturer's name. A sub-dial for seconds is positioned above the 6 o'clock marker, also marked with small Arabic numerals, and is slightly recessed. The watch has two blued steel hands—a minute hand and an hour hand—both appearing to be in a spade or Breguet style. The crystal is visible and appears intact, without major cracks, though minor scratches or dust might be present. The overall condition suggests regular use but no severe damage, maintaining a good patina. The craftsmanship appears to be of reasonable quality for a utilitarian timepiece of its era.
