拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

CASE: Crisply defined details and well chased generally. Surface dirt and tarnishing in areas overall.
DIAL: The enamel with some hairline cracks. With unusual but probably contemporary clips to the edge of the dial/dial plate. The tip of the minute hand has been repaired and the tip of the hour hand is a little mishapen.
MOVEMENT: With later Brocot regulation to the backplate with subsequent adaptation and some vacant holes to the plates. Some re-bushing evident. Probable later bell stand. Later pendulum.
With winding key and a regulation key.
