Silver pocket watch with impressive engraved decorations. Quality Swiss or German movement. Circa 1860-1880.
White enamel dial with Hebrew numerals and subsidiary seconds. Heraldic logo on the dial depicts a crowned shield supported by two crowned lions, standing on a banner bearing the words "Shlom" and "Zion" in Hebrew. Rear cover decorated with a repoussé image of Moses holding the Tablets of the Law, above which is inscribed "Next Year in Jerusalem." Watch body decorated with stylized scrolled and foliage elements and owl faces on the winder stem. Movement engraved with the letters SR SF (possibly the maker's mark?).
Diameter: 5.5 cm. Height (including suspension loop): 7 cm. Good condition. It seems the watch is in operating order. Minor cracks to the dial, without losses.
