162-4266 Pocket watch: extraordinary rare pocket watch movement of a Cartier "Eclipse-Double-Dial" dress watch, ca.1920, we only know of 1 more piece! Ca. Ø38.5mm, no.4041/4841, thin, very fine precision lever movement with Geneva striping and special fine adjusting device, signed Cartier, 18 jewels, adjusted in 8 positions, lever escapement, main plate numbered, further numbering on the Eclipse mechanism, 2 overlapping engine turned dials, upper dial with Roman numerals 1 - 12, beneath the second dial with the numerals 13-24, blued steel hands, in working order and in good condition. Pushing the pendant button opens the 1st dial "like a curtain", so that the 2nd dial appears. This version of the famous Cartier Eclipse is extremely rare. Only one other example is known to us. In the "normal" version of the Eclipse, a "Jalousie" opens and the dial is visible. According to our research less than 10 of these watches are known so far and only one of them has 2 dials, like this one. A very similar numbered platinum watch was auctioned at Christies (Cartier 4016/4813) and sold for 78,000 Swiss Francs in 2007! (Source: https://www.cortrie.de/go/r2a). now only: 5.000 €
