Description19th Century Billodes Watch for the Ottoman Army 12.jpg |
My sister's birthday present to me from her travels in Turkey. Oh it's so beautiful. Here's what a fully restored version looks like: <a href="http://forums.watchuseek.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=128878&d=1221851503" rel="nofollow">forums.watchuseek.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=128878&...</a> Aggregated Description from Various Sources: Late Victorian Billodes (Billodes was the Zenith Watchmaker name in the Middle East) key-wound pocket watch made for the Ottoman Army. Different sources by pocket watch online stores cite the watch is anywhere from 1860s to 1890s. The watch was assembled and/or had its enamel made by K. Serkisoff & Co of Constantinople (Yes, it is pre-"Istanbul"). The enamel is surrounded by a gold leaf rim and uses Ottoman numerals. The watch uses a triple silver case. The dial is 54mm in diameter. The case is signed 0,800 with the serial numbers 3173003-4031 on the front and 3003-4031 on the back. |
