 Breitling began in 1884, when Leon Breitling - just 24 years of age - founded the company in St. Imier, Switzerland. Breitling's goal was simple: to manufacture high-quality technical watches. As his business expanded, the young watchmaker moved the factory to the Swiss village of Grenchen and began specializing in chronographs. Today, one can find chronograph pocket watches signed Breitling, which are often of very high quality.

Breitling is a brand  from Grenchen, Canton of Solothurn (originally founded in Saint-Imier, Bernese Jura by Léon Breitling in 1884). The watchmaker offers Certified Chronometers designed primarily for aviation use, though most frequently worn as high-end luxury watches. Breitling's watches offer aviation functions, though their chronograph functions have become more of status symbols than practically applied tools. They typically have a large face (e.g. the Breitling for Bentley Motors edition has a 48 mm Case Diameter) for better visibility and to allow display of more information on the analog dials. Many models feature an automatic winding mechanism that is purely mechanical (i.e. using no electronic components). Many Breitling watches are equipped with additional functions such as the flyback function, split-second, moon phase, date display and other complications.

WALTHAM APPLETON TRACEY 14 KARAT PRISTINE HUNTER CASE POCKET WATCH

STOCK NUMBER # WALTHAM440------This is the best you will find for all over condition. Please keep in mind this exquisite piece is from the year 1887(120 years old). I assure you this case and movement are mint condition the best I have seen in many many years. The dial has one small spider line at the 11 pm market to the middle. The Emerald colored markers per hour might actually be stones as they are faceted but I cannot get to them as they are (if they are real stones) in the enamel orignal Waltham multi colored dial. This solid gold 14 karat hunter case is aprox 55 grams of solid pure 14 karat and it has been tested. The case was produced by the A.W.C.Co company and the serial number is 15,693 and both covers and the cuvette share the same serial number. The case across is 55mm. there are no personal engravings on this case and again not a ding not a scratch purely perfect indeed. The movement is a model 1883 with 15 jewels it jewel settings that are pressed in. The serial number for this 18 size stem wind and lever set model is 3,624,204. The year of production for this Appleton Tracy model hunter movement is 1887 and this was part of a 500 piece run so 120 years later? who knows how many survived and I can attest to the fact that being in an 18 or 14 karat gold hunter case is very scarce and to find one in museum quality perfect condition? almost one of a kind. the price has been set according to rarity and for the solid gold content which when put together is the best you will do or investment as the bank will NEVER be able to match the return you will get on this piece in a short 8 years or so!

ROBERT ROSKELL RACK AND PINION 18 KARAT GOLD CASE IN CASE

STOCK NUMBER ROSKELL1000------ In the year 1825 Jan 27th - U.S. Congress approves Indian Territory (in what is present-day Oklahoma), clearing the way for forced relocation of the Eastern Indians on the "Trail of Tears." Mar 4th - John Quincy Adams inaugurated as 6th president and in Liverpool a master watchmaker was producing stunning rack and lever chain fusee pocket watch as this fine example and well worthy to be in the same paragraph as J Adams and the birth of the state Oklahoma.

I must tell you that an 18 karat solid gold case in case are rare and hard to find and to have a fine pristine example in such fine high museum quality? this is unheard of. One must keep in mind that back in 1825 computers were not even on the table of thought, Electricity was only 50 odd years old by a kite flown in an electrical storm  by Ben Franklin. The telephone was the "town Crier" and still Robert Roskell managed to slowly produced some of the worlds finest time pieces as this one I have here before you without the aid or marvels of machines and man made lighting.

 The case in case are both spotless and well hallmarked from the assay's office of Chester and dated to 1825. The total weight of the cases not including movement, bulls eye glass crystal or metal bars is 65 grams which works out to a bit less than 2  1/2 ounces of pure 18 karat solid gold. The outer case across is 55mm. The inner solid 18 karat gold case is 50mm across. The dial is enamel and for a dial of an age of 183 years old it is stunning along with the solid 24 karat gold hands.

The movement is a chain fusee and it has a "Rack and lever" movement as Robert Roskell was famous for.

all hinges on these two cases are in perfect order. The movement is signed Robert Roskell and it is written on the movement "Liverpool,23,888. On the balance cock it is written "Patent" It is truly amazing that when you put the key into the key slot and wind it a few times, This 183 year old movement runs amazingly well. I have cleaned and serviced this piece and I can tell you that it came to me in well taken care of condition so with a little TLC and with close inspection of all gears, cogs and the fusee chain. I can attest to this historical piece as a genuine 18 karat gold case in case Museum piece in perfect order.

The price has been set by rarity and condition as well as the karat gold of these cases.
