Just bought my first pocketwatch. There are hallmarks and other kinds of marks but i can not figure out what it means. Can someone help me? I know that the bear stands for switserland. Any help will be appreciated!
Apart from the fact that it is Swiss there is not much more to tell. 0.935 is the silver standard and the number is a serial number of some sort. Accurate dating is not possible and naming the maker requires a recognisable manufacturer’s mark.
I will post later today a better photo and a photo of the front and back of the pocketwatch. Thank you for replying.
As you can see i have two photo´s of the front and the back. Unfortunately my camera is not that good,.I couldn´t take a better image of the hallmarks. But if someone knows the style of the pocketwatch please let me know. In the cover of the clockwork there is a mark LM and a man that looks like an inca.
I have found out tat the letters lm are cm Consti Mathey. Can someone tell me about him?
