SINGLE HAND OIGNON Verge Fusee Antique Pocket Watch from LATE XVII 1690-1700

  
Very nice Lous XIV oignon watch. Beautiful gilt dial with porcelain cartouches is in rare perfect condition. Typically for late XVII, watch is equipped with only one hand.

The balance bridge is huge, it's beautifully decorated with birds, chimeras and floral ornament. As for some French single-handed watches, it's being wind through the center.

This type of construction lacks center wheel, because of special wheel train, that allows to turn fusee by rotating winding gear in the center. Condition Condition is quite nice. Dial is in good condition. Movement is running in every position, though I don't guarantee time keeping.

The case appears to be in good condition. Diameter is 55mm, height is 62mm, thickness is 35mm.
