In this listing we are presenting an ultra-rare Leopold
Huguenin Rattrapante Split Seconds Quarter Seconds Jump Chronograph with Tandem
Wind Pocket Watch Movement from around the 1870s. It is ultra-rare to find the combination of
Split Seconds Chronograph, Quarter Seconds Jump Display, and Tandem Wind all incorporated
in a single movement. Leopold Huguenin
from Locle Switzerland is a small production but well-known maker of complicated
watches of the best quality from the 1870-1890s. This movement is no exception to the high
quality standard of this maker that it has all of the features of a top grade complicated
pocket watch finished in nickle. Unfortunately
for sure it was separately away from a massive 18K gold hunter case and we acquired
the movement as is. Condition-wise the movement runs and stops and the chronograph and quarter jump functions are working. The split seconds function DOES NOT WORK at the current state. Balance staff is good but very gummy and dirty. We do not make any functional guarantee to this timepiece and it is sold for parts only. Winding staff is missing. We also do not guarantee that any of the parts are missing or damaged, again the buyer should view this as parts for restoration purpose only. Cosmetically The dial is in very good shape with just one tiny short hairline from the center post to the subseconds chapter. All of the 5 hands are original and in great shape. The nickle-plated movement has some sparse rust speckles and overally in very clean shape. Diameter is 47.5mm, this watch comes in Hunter Case configuration. SOLD AS IS with NO RETURNS.
