Swiss Reminder with Alarm Pocket Watch/Travel Clock, New-Old-Stock in Original Box c.1900

Here's a rare and unusual ALARM Swiss pocket watch from the turn of the century in absolute MINT New-Old-Stock condition and in it's original wood box with instruction papers! Nice large man's sized 50mm gun metal case with gold bow and crown is flawless. Back case cover opens to provide a stand for desk or bedside. Nickel cuvette with alarm on-off switch and regulator window and marked with the Swiss patent number 31779. We have not opened the back to photograph the Swiss pin-set movement but it is running like new and keeps great time and the alarm works perfectly and sounds a good loud ring. The main spring powers both the watch and the alarm. Flawless white porcelain dial signed "REMINDER" with an arrow indicating setting of alarm hand is done counter clockwise. The alarm is set by rotating the bezel counter clockwise and the time is set by depressing the pin and turning the crown clockwise. Fitted original wooden box is in excellent condition and still contains the original papers and instructions. With a decidedly military appearance, this may have been made for use in World War One. This very early example of a mechanical alarm watch has never been used or carried and would make a superb addition to any Movado Ermeto, alarm, desk clock or pocket watch collection.
