–
A fine Swiss 18 carat yellow gold hunting cased minute repeating keyless lever pocket watch by Louis Audemars, circa 1880. Gilded brass movement, with two barrels, double-train of wheels, straight-line equilibrated lever escapement, compensated balance with gold poising screws and blued steel hairspring with terminal curve.
Round-shaped, pocket watch, hinged case back, and three horological complications: Minute-repeater on two steel gongs (activated by the slide at 5 o’clock), Dead independent seconds (exterior graduation with central hand; activated by the push-piece located on the case band at 12 o’clock), Two barrels with differential gears and bidirectional-winding inspired by Sylvain Mairet’s (1805-1890) works (1850 / 1855)
White enamel dial with Roman numerals, outer minute track and Arabic five-minute numerals. Cuvette signed.
