Antique French verge fusee quarter repeater pocket watch movement with key winding mechanism.

This movement measures approximately 50.7 mm in diameter and represents an interesting restoration project for collectors, watchmakers, or enthusiasts of early French horology. Verge escapement and fusee-driven movements were widely used in pocket watches from the 18th and early 19th centuries, while quarter repeater mechanisms were highly regarded complications designed to strike the hours and quarters on demand.

The movement is offered strictly as a restoration project and is sold as non-working. The balance is broken, some parts may be missing, and the movement has not been inspected for additional faults. Unknown issues may be present and the movement will require restoration before any attempt at operation.
