Short description of the watch
I bring to your attention this rare antique German collectable, a Beautiful men's Richard Glaeser Glashütte Chronometer wristwatch. Many watchmakers tried to remake pocket watches into wristwatches. But, as you understand, the military operations and time incidents weren't able to protect an old watch case in good condition. The stainless steel case is NEW, custom-made, fantastic, built specially for this excellent Richard Glaeser Glashütte movement. The watch has an original, beautiful, gold-plated HIGHER-QUALITY movement with Four Raised Screwed Gold Settings CHATONS, a bimetallic Swan Neck micrometer regulator, also signed Richard Glaeser Glashütte b Dresden, and serial number 8682. Also, please pay attention to the balance: One Raised Screwed Gold Settings CHATON with an 100% Original DIAMOND. This serial number dates the watch to circa 1870-1875, per published production numbers. This is a “NAIL SET” watch, so you don’t pull the crown out to set the time. Instead, you press the little button below the crown IN and then move the crown to set the hands, releasing the button once you’re finished. It’s easy, so don’t worry about getting the hang of it! The re-finished Art Deco Engraved Black & Silver metal dial is in excellent condition, professionally restored and beautifully done. Watch Hands – amazing original gold-plated hands. On the front and back sides, the dome glass is made of mineral crystal. The watch has been restored, checked, and calibrated by a master watchmaker and is in very good running condition. This unique wristwatch has been kept in excellent condition until now. A new watchband is included as a gift. This wristwatch is a stylish acquisition for collectors, with 100% satisfaction, and a good present or for everyday use!
