Late-19th-Early-20th-Century 18K-Gold Diamond-Set Locket-Hunter-Case 20-Ruby Pocket-Watch, With Original Brand-Marked Case . Dial diameter: 26.5-mm Wt:22.39g 18-carat-gold diamond-set locket-hunter-case pocket-watch manufactured by Ed.-KOEHN, Geneva, Switzerland, late-19th-early-20th-century, presented in its original branded fitted case. The 18K-gold case is set with diamonds to the bezel. It integrates full-hunter protection and locket-function. The front cover opens to a hollow compartment for keepsakes such as miniature photographs or hair mementos. Inner back-cover engraved with eight world-fair prize-medal emblems, engraved script: Balindr??, 20 rubis, serial-number N- 200330. Manual-wind movement fitted with 20 rubies. Original period case with red-satin lining gilt-stamped "Ed.-KOEHN GENEVE". Surface wear commensurate with age on 18K-gold case; diamonds intact; satin lining exhibits minor age-related yellowing; movement winds manually and locket-hunter cover operates properly. Composite diamond-set locket-hunter watches of this variant are scarce; survival of the maker's-original case is highly desirable, overall in good preserved condition.
