Maurice Wolf - 0.935 zilver - 210043 - 1900-1949

The front lid does not close properly. Antique pocket watch with signs of wear. Diameter 5 cm. with a weight of 91 g. - Material: The case is made of solid silver (hallmark 0.935 visible on the inner lid, indicating an alloy of 935/1000 silver, common in Swiss watches from that period). - Brand/Logo: The INVAR logo (with the falling star/comet symbol) is engraved on the inner lid. - Dial: White enamel dial with black Roman numerals, an outer minute track, and a small seconds hand at 6 o’clock. - Seller: The dial bears the name Maurice Wolf, a well-known watchmaker and jeweler active in the Dutch East Indies. High-quality Swiss lever escapement movement by Invar, produced by the manufacturer C.M.I. (Compagnie des Montres Invar). • C.M.I.: This is embossed at the top and confirms the maker: Compagnie des Montres Invar (founded by Achille Hirsch in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). • The Crescent Moon and Crown: This stamp (right) is the German Reichsmark for silver. This means the watch was at the time exported to or certified for the German/European market before being sold through a jeweler (such as Maurice Wolf). • 0,935 & Korhaan (Auerhahn): On the left the number 0.935 in an oval with above it the small Swiss silver hallmark of a capercaillie. This silver content (93.5% pure silver) was just slightly higher than standard sterling silver (92.5%) to comply with the strict import rules of Great Britain and Germany at that time. Shipped by registered mail and well packaged."
