Remontoir Pocket Watch

Remontoir pocket watch

Remontoir pocket watch

I inherited this remontoir pocket watch when my Pop passed away and I would really like to know a little bit more about it, such as the maker, what year it was made in, if it has any value, although I am not looking to sell it but would like to know just out of curiosity.

It has no numbers on gears but stamped or engraved is "R/A S/F" and on the case it has "5663 / remontoir cylindre 6 nubis 0.800 galonne", with a crown and moon. There are some other small scratch marks I cant read.

I can't find any maker's name on the dial, and it has blue hands. The case is gold and silver.

Thanks and YA it works great!

I have one as well...
by: Richard Franklin

Mine has 10 jewels, blue steel bridge screws, solid silver case with the 800 grade and the crown and moon hallmark as well. The previous comment is right, this watch is made between 1900 - 1910. Mine has the serial #24 under the face and on each bridge, which means this is a really early one but it keeps just as good time as an escapement lever movement.

I have it beside my Admiral TACY pocket watch and it only gains 45 seconds a day, whereas my Admiral gains a minute per day, not bad for a 100 year old watch that's been stored in bad conditions for over 20 years.
