Description:

Doxa 45mm 15J pocket watch, case #2382170, handsome gilt split plate movement with bold red ruby jewels, steel winding wheels and a brushed finish, porcelain enamel dial with a paper overlay has bold black Roman numerals, an outer minute register with 5 minute Arabic markers, a black-printed seconds register and a detailed photograph print of a couple, possibly Tsar Nicholas II & Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, bold blue steel open-diamond style hands.

Heavy smooth polish hinge back (HB) argentan (nickel silver alloy) case with Chinese characters, possibly 天鐵 (tiān tiě) under a number 4 and a pair of concentric circles with upper-right bars off the side, a short heavy pendant, a heavy bow, an elaborate Doxa marked dust cover and a glass crystal, case is showing moderate wear with some smoothing to the engravings, a few small dents on the back cover and a bit of brass on the bow, additionally we have noticed that if you press the front bezel down very tight it will hang up the second hand, however allowing just a slight bit of lift near 6 o'clock will keep the bezel from binding up the dial & hand, measures approx. 48mm in diameter x 63mm in length x 12mm thick (crystal included).

While we did our best to translate the characters on the back cover and to identify the portrait couple, we apologize if the results we have presented have errors and advise a collector to do due diligence on confirming the information. An interesting vintage mechanical movement watch with connections to multiple cultures from the mid-1900s in excellent overall condition!
