A Rare, late Victorian/Edwardian, Gentleman's "Buttonhole " Swiss made watch, in a Gunmetal, Blued Steel case with Gunmetal Blued Steel hands C.1900.

The white enamel dial with gilt dots and Arabic numerals with red twelve.

The time is set in the early way,by depressing the pinset button on the case band and rotating the winding crown.

This particular watch is in almost unused condition, with the Gunmetal in perfect condition and a most beautiful, deep blue almost iridescent sheen.

With the dial (15mm diameter),protruding through the buttonhole and the main movement housing unseen,(29mm) an effective illusion of miniaturization, this unusual watch appears to be incredibly small, an amusing late Victorian/ Edwardian novelty .

I feel that must point out once again that this rare and unusual antique timepiece, is in an almost unused state, the Gunmetal in perfect condition with a most beautiful, deep blue almost iridescent sheen.
