A. Vacheron Girod - Vóór 1850

Antique 18K Gold Pocket Watch – Vacheron & Cie Genève (circa 1850–1880)This fine Swiss pocket watch is signed “A.B. Vacheron & Cie – Genève” and represents a well-preserved example of mid-19th-century horological craftsmanship. It features a mechanical movement with anchor escapement and a horizontal escapement system, a configuration typically found in watches from the earlier part of the 19th century. The movement includes eight ruby bearings, which reduce friction and indicate solid, durable construction.The case is made of solid 18-carat gold and bears the appropriate Swiss gold hallmarks. Both the movement and case are in good condition, and the watch is in working order. All major components appear to be original, including the dial, hands, and crystal.While the name “Vacheron” might suggest a connection to Vacheron Constantin, this watch was produced by Vacheron & Cie (also referred to as Vacheron Girod), a separate Geneva-based watchmaker from the same era. Timepieces from this workshop are rare and appreciated by collectors of early Swiss horology.This watch stands out not only for its gold content and functional quality, but also for its historical value as a product of 19th-century Geneva – one of the great centres of Swiss watchmaking.Specifications: • Maker: A.B.
