Also it’s decorated with silver and gold inlay is in near mint condition …it is pristine. It is featuring a 60 minute checkered outer track border with silver and gold points, original Louis XVI filigree hands. The gently white enamel dial has an exposed engraved bridge with balance and regulator with red ruby.   The beautiful dial is marked "8 JOURS" (French for "8 DAYS") as well as HEBDOMAS. It’s all completely original and so a pretty fair example of this type of watch, which are quite hard to find nowadays. The matching vintage domed Onion-style winding crown is in tiptop shape, winding smoothly. The movement is completely covered by its gilt mainspring cover signed “Spiral Breguet Levees Visibles, 8 Jours, Ancre, Qualite Superieure Garantie”. The cover is also decorated with four medals and signed Chicago 1892, Geneva 1896, Paris 1900, Milan 1906 and Bruxelles (Brussels) 1910.   It runs for 8 days but takes 8 times as long as a normal watch to wind up, so there is no saving in labor there.   This is a “NAIL SET” watch so you don’t pull the crown out to set the time. Instead, you press the little button near the crown IN and then move the crown to set the hands, releasing the button once you’re finished. It’s easy, so don’t worry about getting the hang of it!   The hinged back cover closes tight with no gaps,and is decorated with an intricate nautical scene. The only flaws that I can find are                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Good luck bidding. the high bidder will own one of the nicest hebdomas pocket watches on the market.
