    Description

    Аugust Еriсssоn keyless chronometer spring detent pocket watch №200 ~1894
    Original solid silver case by early François Borgel.
    Rare caliber (probably made exclusively for Ericsson) featuring even more rare high-grade finishing version.
    Regularly, these Ericsson calibers appear without jeweled centre staff, without chatons and without sapphire jewel on balance top (scroll down for a pic from Dr Crott catalog).
    Condition
    :
    NOT WORKING currently. As found - something wrong with mainspring. Balance spins freely and contacts the going wheel; rest parts seem good as well.
    Never polished
    case as I conclude from lovely external patina and bright shiny internals.
    Perfect signed enamel dial
    All original untouched condition (originally I bought this watch in  Japan at antique shop within Fukuoka prefecture. During Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905 Fukuoka was one of three main concentration camps for Russian prisoners. There is no direct proofs currently but quite likely the watch may have been belonged to one of high-ranking marine captives. The monogram has 'E T' initials).
