THIS IS BY FAR MY MOSTRARE, PRECIOUS AND VALUEABLE ANTIQUE POCKET WATCH. THE FABULOUS 2~TONE (ROSE & YELLOW) ALL SOLID 14KT REAL GOLD IS DESIGNED WITH WINGED GRIFFIN MOTIFS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE HUNTER'S CASE. THIS FLAWLESS, PERFECT AND AMAZING PENDANT WATCH HAS FANCY SCROLLING ENGRAVED PATTERNS TO THE BORDERS WITH ALL HINGES (EXTERIOR & INTERIOR) IN EXCELLENT UNDAMAGED CONDITION WITH EVERY PANEL THIGHT FITTING WITH NO WEAKNESS OR WOBBLE. THE STYLIZED BALE IS EASILY ATTACHED OR DETACHED FROM THE MATCHING GRIFFIN WATCH PIN HOLDER WITH SPIKED TONGUE AND DIAMOND EYE. THE ACTUAL WATCH IS 1&3/8 INCHES WIDE AND 1&7/8 INCHES TALL (TO TIP OF BALE) WITH THE WATCH ONLY WEIGHING PRECISELY 45 GRAMS (ABOUT 1&1/2 TROY OUNCES) OR WITH THE PIN, A TOTAL OF 52 GRAMS COMBINED. THE PUSH BUTTON WINDER EASILY RELEASES THE GRIFFIN PANEL TO REVEAL THE PERFECT (NO CHIPS, NO CRACKS, NO CRAZING) WHITE& BLACK ENAMEL WALTHAM DIAL WITH UNIQUE SUB SECOND DIAL, ROMAN NUMERAL HOUR MARKERS, RED NUMBERED MINUTES AND DELICATE ORIGINAL BLACK HANDS. THE BACK FLIP OPEN HINGED PANEL REVEALS THE INTERIOR PROTECTIVE PANEL (ALSOOF 14KT GOLD). THE PRODUCTION NUMBER DATES THIS TO 1903 - 1904 BUT IT WAS PRESENTED FROM "BEN TO TORY" ON "XMAS" OF 19"07". THE ORIGINAL CASE IS FULLY HALLMARKED "KEYSTONE 14K" WITHMATCHING COVER NUMBERS. THE INTERIOR PANEL IS FURTHER STAMPED "GUARANTEED 14K 585 FINE THE K.W.C.CO" WITH IDENTICAL CASE NUMBERS. THE ORIGINAL JEWELED MOVEMENT IS STAMPED "A.W.W. CO. LADY WALTHAM" WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER JUST OVER 13 MILLION DATING THIS TO 1903-1904. EVERY ASPECT OF THIS WATCH IS SUPERB WITH NO DENTS, SCRATCHES, REPAIRS OR UNEXPECTED WEAR AND ALL DETAILING CRISP. THE WONDERFUL GRIFFIN WATCH BROOCH IS ONLY STAMPED "14K" AND IS EXQUISITELY EXECUTED WITH OUTSTANDING DETAILS. THE PIN ONLY MEASURES JUST OVER 1 INCH WIDE AND 1&1/8 INCHES TALL.
