A Remarkable Johann Paluka Pocket Watch
This is a fascinating antique pocket watch crafted by Johann Paluka of Constantinople. The watch features a unique and decorative dial with intricate patterns and numerals. The steel case exhibits a beautiful patina consistent with age, and the movement is currently in working order, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Condition and Collectibility
This pocket watch is offered as a restoration project, lacking both the glass cover and hands. Despite this, the movement remains functional, making it an excellent opportunity for a watchmaker or collector to restore it to its former glory. The unique dial and the historical significance of a watch made in Constantinople add to its appeal, making it a desirable piece for those interested in horological history and antique timepieces.
