Dial and Case Construction
The pocket watch is housed in an open-face Keystone fine silver case measuring 51 mm in width by 15 mm in depth. In the photograph, the silver-toned case shows a coin-edged bezel, a fluted crown, and a shaped bow, while the dealer reports turned sides, a smooth plain finish, a mineral glass crystal, and screw-off front and back bezels.
The dial is described by the dealer as black paint on metal, bearing white hands including a central sweep seconds hand. The visual display presents an inner 1 to 24 hour numeral track and outer minute or seconds markings, with the dealer noting the hands make one revolution every 24 hours. The dial is signed 'GCT'.
