About the Item
Le Roy et Fils. A Rare 18ct Rose Gold Quarter Repeater Keywind Cylinder Openface Pocket Watch, C1820.
Dial: The superb Silver dial with engine turning to the centre of the dial with Roman numerals and outer minute track. The original rose gold coloured Breguet moon hands complimenting the watch beautifully.
Case: The 18ct Rose Gold case with fine engine turning to the back cover with a vacant circle. The inner gilt metal cover is signed LEROY
FILS watchmaker to the king Paris. It is also numbered. The winding and hand setting holes are in the back cover, showing which way to wind and setting the hands. The cases are all French hallmarked and numbered. The pendant has the repeater plunger which pushes down to operate the repeater mechanism.
Movement: The fine rare and cylinder escapement with fast, slow regulation flat balance and visible hammers and plunger to operate the repeater. The watch chimes the hours and quarters clearly with the hammers hitting two gongs. The movement works very well. The movement is unsigned which was common in French watches from this period.
This is a fine example of a chiming watch from an illustrious and famous watchmaker from this period. Le Roy et fils was a French company making clocks and watches. The company was founded in 1785 by Basile Charles le Roy (1765–1839), who later passed it on to his son, Charles-Louis Le Roy. Le Roy et Fils became successful and survived the turmoils of the French Revolution. It became clockmaker to Napoleon I, his sister Princess Pauline, Mme Mere and the King of Westphalia. After the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy, it was a warrant holder for the Duke of Bourbon.This watch would make a fine addition to one's collection. We sell this watch with our own certificate of authenticity.
