Swiss made silver cased pocket watch German import mark ? date

Postby populous38 » Sun Mar 28, 2021 7:26 am

Hi guys; I wonder if anyone can help. I've got a small silver cased 0800 pocket watch (ladies). I think it is Swiss made (Grouse) with German import mark. There is another little hallmark but it is very small and looks like a penguin on a ball, but that is probably my imagination. I have seen a similar mark online but it had no text with it, so I am no wiser. I was wondering a possible date. Any help appreciated as usual.

Hi,
I think the small mark is another Swiss grouse .800 mark (secondary mark, also struck on watch neck).
It is late 19th century, turn of 19th century, that`s good enough for dating, not necessary and impossible in regard of more precise dating.
Regards

Cheers AG
appreciated. I took a long look at the second mark under a loupe and your right I think, another grouse.
