[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 632912, member: 2844"]Lovely watch, BMRT, and both watch case and pin are in very good condition. I'm with Bronwen, a ladies' watch. They are also called ladies' pocket watches, to avoid confusion with wrist watches. They are called fob watches when they are on a short watch chain, and chatelaine watches when they are on a chatelaine or a long guard chain, slide chain, or sautoir. You can see different ways of wearing an antique ladies' watch in the thread Bronwen posted. There won't be an inscription under the watch face. The dates were enough reminder for the wearer, she could even run her fingers along them in loving memory. I agree, the watch pin and the watch didn't start out life together, but they look very good together. They have probably spent most of their lives like this. The mark looks like a Swiss grouse mark 1882-1934 for .800 silver.[/QUOTE]
