• 186 EPW-Breguet s#244-A slim key wound movement with early “English Type” ruby cylinder escapement (i.e., not hanging ruby cylinder type). The white enamel dial, which is signed Breguet and numbered 244 is in excellent condition. In addition to the conventional signature, there are two secret signatures engraved into the dial, which can be found on either side of the XII (an example of this method of applying two numbered signatures, can be found illustrated in “The Art of Breguet” by George Daniels (page 136 plate 62)). The mainspring barrel is fitted with a female winding arbor (wound with a male key), and Breguet stop-works. The hands are of gilt metal and set conventionally with a key. The balance is of plain three-arm design, fitted with a flat coiled balance spring. The hairspring terminates in a stud which slots into a key way in the centre of the balance cock and is retained by a small screwed down shield shaped plate. The index regulator is fitted with a temperature compensation curb. The number 134 can be found on the front plate of the movement under the plate, which holds the bottom balance jewels (see pictures), 48mm

  Entire Auction List-without photos

  Dear Customer, 

  Some photos may have distortions from light reflections.  These distortions are not necessarily problems with the watches.  If you are in question, please ask us .  

  Lots that contain multiple pieces are sold as is - we advise personal attendance or a representative at the live auction if you would like to bid on these multiple pieces.

  We have tried to keep a format for taking photographs. In general, for open face pocket watches the dial is the first photograph, the case is the second photograph, the movement is the third photograph, and the hallmark is the fourth photograph.  In general, for hunting case pocket watches the case is the first photograph, the dial is the second photograph, the movement is the third photograph, and the hallmark is the fourth photograph.  In general, for wristwatches the front of the case and the dial is the first photograph, the back of the case is the second photograph, and  the movement is the third photograph if available.  -Thank you for your interest!  Jones & Horan Auction Team
