H. Moser & Cie, St. Petersbourg & Moscow., No.610.

The elaborately engraved gorge gilt-bronze case has beveled glasses all around, a hinged handle with straight sides similar to Jacot’s work, and a matching mask.

The porcelain time dial has a subsidiary seconds chapter, Roman numerals for the hours, steel-cut hands and is signed by the maker. Below are white porcelain subsidiary dials for the date and alarm.

The eight-day time and strike grand-sonnerie movement has a high-quality jeweled lever platform, strikes on two bells, is wound and set off the backplate and has a selector lever out the bottom.

Both the movement and case are stamped ‘610’.

Heinrich Moser was a notable Swiss watchmaker and industrial pioneer whose clients included many of the Russian monarchy.
