GURZELEN Pocket Watch – Louis Brandt & Frère – Silver Case - 1850-1900

A beautiful antique Swiss pocket watch bearing the Gurzelen name, a historic watch brand associated with Louis Brandt & Frère, the watchmaking house that would later become renowned for Omega. Gurzelen is part of the fascinating early history of Swiss watchmaking, dating back to the period when Louis Brandt & Frère marketed watches under different brand names before Omega became established. This timepiece is particularly appealing to collectors interested in the origins of the company and its early watchmaking production. The watch features an elegant white dial with black Roman numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, and an attractive mechanical movement with traditional bridge construction. The movement is marked 15 jewels and appears clean on visual inspection. Specifications: - Brand: Gurzelen - Historical association: Louis Brandt & Frère, the watchmaking house behind Omega - Type: Antique mechanical pocket watch - Case material: Silver, bearing a French Chimera silver hallmark - Case weight: 80.0 g - Diameter: 48 mm - Dial: White, with black Roman numerals and subsidiary seconds - Movement: Mechanical, manual winding, marked 15 jewels Condition and functionality: The watch can be wound, but it is not currently running reliably. The movement starts ticking and then stops after approximately two or three seconds. A professional watchmaker’s service and inspection are therefore required before the watch can be expected to operate correctly. The movement appears visually clean, and the dial is in very good cosmetic condition. The watch is sold as-is, requiring servicing, making it an interesting restoration project or addition to a collection of antique Swiss watches. A fascinating historical timepiece for collectors interested in Gurzelen, Louis Brandt & Frère, and the early history of the watchmaking house associated with Omega.
