This repeater which I believe is fairly rare as not only being a Dumb repeater but has the extra feature of center seconds. I can't trace any information on the internet. Dial signed Nob.

Louis,

A very nicely finished Swiss Ébauche from about 1800 as you stated. Very difficult to track down the maker as few records of Swiss/French ebauche supliers/finishers exist. Although the center seconds complication makes it quite unique today, the watch is not technically rare or important as many others like it were made during the same period. That being said, it is rare enough to influence value by quite a bit, and add to that its beautiful finish and apparent fine condition.

Many thanks William for your input. The pictures don't do the watch justice . It is quite thick having a very high dome glass to accommodate the center second hand . Thickness 26 mm Diam. 54 mm. A very nice addition to my collection. Louis
