Oscar Moser & Cie Fickur i 84 (0.875) silver med kedja

Overview

This is a distinctive Oscar Moser & Cie mechanical pocket watch with an elegant period character and a particularly unusual dial design. The silver case with fine engine-turned back gives the watch a refined antique presence, while the dial stands out through its square gilt centre section with red 13 to 24 hour numerals, framed by black Arabic hour markers on the outer field. The result is an eye-catching and highly individual layout. Together with the attached metal fob ending in a Finnish flag motif, the watch offers a more personal and display-worthy presentation.
Its strongest appeal lies in the combination of the 0.875 silver case, the unusual square 24 hour centre dial, and the signed Oscar Moser & Cie movement.
