287-4223 Pocket watch: probably a unique piece, flying tourbillon, Richard Miklosch, ca.1995
Ca. Ø56.5mm, ca. 135g, silver, glazed on both sides, flying tourbillon with spring detent escapement, silvered dial, regulator dial with digital hour and power reserve indicator, blued steel hands, in working order and excellently preserved, an absolute rarity. Richard Miklosch (1939–2014) was a prominent German master watchmaker from Herzogenrath near Aachen, renowned for his expertise in high-precision timekeeping and the construction of tourbillons. Alongside George Daniels, he is regarded as one of the most significant chronometer makers of the 20th century and was in close contact with Alfred Helwig (Glashütte). He was the last pupil of the famous Glashütte regulator maker Gustav Gerstenberger. Through this connection and his personal contact with Alfred Helwig, the inventor of the ‘flying tourbillon’, he adopted their high quality standards and design principles. Another flying tourbillon he crafted, featuring an Earnshaw spring detent escapement, is regarded as a technical masterpiece and is part of the renowned collection of Theodor Beyer in Zurich.
