Japy Freres French Fusee Repeater Pocket Watch Movement Circa 1800 50 MM

  

Japy Freres fusee repeater movement. Signed Japy on front plate, under dial. I believe it's complete and it has every I had to remove it from the gold case.

It was original housed in an 18k gold case which was missing the bezel, and the watch hand were missing. I had no choice but scrap the gold case for gold value. Everything that is not gold is included.

Movement, some front wheels are loose. Metal ring and dust cover. Actuator button/shaft that went to pendant, and I believe when the pendant was pushed in, it would the repeater system (maybe). Sliding actuator button which may be gold and the mechanism parts that were inside the case for the sliding actuator (including small screws).

Obviously, this(fusee watches) is not really an area I have much expertise. I can tell you that I think it is complete. The watch felt wound all the way when I tried to wind it with a key (key not included). The fusee chain is intact. The chain on the front of the watch is intact.

Some of the small tiny pins that hold the back plate in place (columns go through the plate and pins slide into the columns) are missing. As a result, the back plate has lifted a little bit and some of the wheels have popped out of their holes.

This happened when I was removing the movement from the case. I new some of those pins were missing and the back plate was loose, and I tried my best to keep everything intact. But nevertheless the plate did pull away a bit and the wheels are displace. Tried to photo this, but hard to see. The balance moves, but I would not say freely back and forth.

I suspect due to the jammed wheels as mentioned above. I do not notice anything that would lead me to believe there is any issue with the balance or it's staffs.

No hands with exception to the center of the hour hand which is still holding the hour wheel on the back of the dial. I have described it honestly and to the best of my knowledge.
