Description: Antique Pocket Watch with Argentan Case - Non-Magnetic Movement Description: This is an antique pocket watch featuring a case made from Argentan, a popular silver-colored alloy known for its durability and shiny appearance. Argentan, sometimes referred to as "nickel silver" or "German silver," contains copper, nickel, and zinc but no actual silver content. This material was widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its resemblance to real silver without the associated cost. It has maintained its bright look over time, though it is not silver-plated. The watch features a non-magnetic movement and comes with the original key for winding. The movement is loose inside the case, and the seconds hand is missing, but the watch is in working order. However, its accuracy has not been checked. The crystal is discolored with visible hairline cracks on the dial face, which is consistent with its age.
