Antique silver Borgel cased pocket watch
Antique silver Borgel cased pocket watch.
The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely.
The watch measures 46mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 935 silver so slightly purer sterling silver, and there are Continental hallmarks together with the case maker’s mark for François Borgel.
Borgel was a very successful inventor and business man, and his company became one of the most important watch case manufacturers of its time. He advertised his screw watch case, such as this example, as "imperméable", which means that he considered his screw case to be waterproof . Early adopters of the Borgel screw case included Longines and IWC. After François Borgel’s death in 1912, the business was carried on by his daughter Louisa. As with any vintage watch, however, strongly advise that it is kept away from water and moisture.
Alongside the marks, there is also a brevet (patent) number 4001 which relates to an 1890s patent by Borgel for a new case design.
The case is in good condition, just light surface marking but nothing too serious at all.
The acrylic lens is in good condition.
The dial is in lovely condition with original pin-set blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE.

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company operates on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis which means that the international buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes & customs which may be necessary to release an order from international customs. Tax and import duty varies from country to country so we recommend you check with your local tax office to see if any fees will be payable. If the customer refuses to pay any duty and customs charges and the parcel is returned to sender all shipping and associated charges will be deducted from any refund.
Due to Customs regulations, we are unable to send watches / precious metals to certain countries. If you are unsure about your country’s regulations, please contact us and we can check for you. Any orders from prohibited countries will be refunded, less any Paypal fees which are non-refundable.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
