Stuhrling Original is all about respect for the art and tradition of the watch-making legend, along with its culture and history as a whole. What better homage to horologic history than to take us back to the first portable timepiece, the pocket watch? These spectacular timepieces used to be the height of scientific advancement, a symbol of status and wealth since only the wealthiest members of society were able to afford them. It took an incredible amount of skill and craftsmanship to think up, design, and build each pocket watch by hand; so much so that you had to become a dedicated apprentice to a master watch maker for years before you became proficient. This in mind, Stuhrling decided to come out with its own line of pocket watches for the Montres de Poche Series. Similar to the Avignon, the Marseille is also a skeleton pocket watch, but rather than having just part of the dial cut away, all but the outer ring that contains the embossed Roman numerals was eschewed. The exposed movement is then decorated with beautiful scrollwork. You can easily observe the mainspring and balance wheel oscillating at 18,000 vibrations per second. Blued plume and dauphine style hands with luminous fill indicate the hour and minutes with supreme clarity; the Marseille is an extremely handsome watch for the most formal and dressy occasions. True to the pocket watches in this series and to watches in a historical sense, this stunning timepiece is powered by a pure mechanical movement. The round case measures in at an impressive 51mm, which was blanked from solid bars of 316L surgical grade stainless steel, while the movement is protected, front and back, by mineral crystals. This beautiful pocket watch comes with a 14” stainless steel curb-link chain, a watch clip on one end and a belt clip on the other..../ Stuhrling Original 618.PK331 Special Reserve Collection Montres De Poche Marseille Mechanical Skeletonized Pocket Watch / pocket watches
