| notes | Cast white metal, forged replication of a German silver filigreed pocket watch in the 16th/17th century style with fusee & crown wheel escapement, Boar- hunting theme, movement signed ''Johann Schlott, Augsburg'' (see notes), made in Germany late 19th or early 20th century.
Description Case: (no measurements) An ovoid, white metal filigreed hunting case pocket watch with swing-free movement. The case is made to mimic filigreed silver with scenes of a boar hunt, one side with hunting dogs, hunters with spears, the boar being speared, foliate forms and a central rosette, all done with simplistic lines and in rather crude form. Dial: Not shown. Movement: The back plate of the movement is shown with arbor for key winding.The movement is pinned at the back plate which exhibits engraved scrolling foliage above the open scroll-work balance cock. the lower section of the rear plate is signed for Johann Schlott, Augsburg''. The plates are joined by tubular brass pillars (late 19th early / 20th century) and there is a crown wheel or verge escapement with a single fusee driven spring. Condition: Essentially a forgery of an early German watch. However there are some old parts here that have some intrinsic value, but not much. More of a conversation piece. Date Late 19th - early 20th century Extra Notes Jurgen Abeler''s text, "Meister der Uhrenmachunst" does reveal the name Johann Schlott. Unfortunately there are no dates and he states that this is a fantasy or fictitious name on fake watches that were made in the style of the 16th and 17th century in Germany. |
