High-end swiss moonphase pocket watch 1900 triple calendar geneva stripes
Exceptional antique Swiss pocket watch, crafted with extraordinary attention to detail and featuring a triple calendar display with an elegant moonphase complication. The dial is a beautiful example of enamel work, with classic Roman numerals, five subdials for day, date, month, and other indications, and finely detailed rose-gold filigree hands that complete the composition with refinement and symmetry.
At 6 o’clock, the moonphase window adds a striking visual element — a deep blue sky adorned with a golden moon and stars, bringing timeless charm and astronomical beauty to the watch. The enamel dial has aged gracefully, with very fine hairlines that are visible only under macro lens or strong magnification. These faint lines add to the authentic antique character of the piece, a subtle reminder of its historical journey and untouched originality.
Measuring approximately 50mm in diameter, the case has a strong, elegant presence without being oversized. It is a true work of art — deeply engraved in high relief, depicting a knightly figure in armor, surrounded by scrolling floral and foliage motifs. The repoussé work is rich in texture and definition, a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The same decorative detail continues around the bezel, case edges, and bow, giving the watch a luxurious and collectible finish.
Inside, the movement reveals classic Swiss craftsmanship, beautifully decorated with Geneva stripes (Côtes de Genève) across the bridges. A clear glass dust cover protects the movement — a feature not visible in the photos but present and intact, helping to preserve the mechanism while still allowing the internal beauty to be admired. The movement has been professionally cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted, and it runs smoothly and reliably. Timekeeping is excellent for its age, with only 3–5 minutes deviation per day — a remarkable performance for a mechanical piece of this complexity and period.
This watch is exceptionally rare — not only because of its triple calendar and moonphase complications, but also because of the level of handmade craftsmanship it displays throughout. The detailing is not limited to the stunning back engraving; it continues with precision around the front bezel, inside the mechanism ring, and even in the form of the winding crown itself. Every aspect of this timepiece, from the visual harmony of the Geneva stripes to the engraved surfaces, reveals the work of a highly skilled watchmaker. There are very few watches — if any — that combine this level of mechanical complexity with such a rich and unified display of handcrafted artistry.
Very rare to find in such well-preserved condition for its age, this moonphase pocket watch is in working order. It runs smoothly but does lose a bit of time, which is perfectly normal for a mechanical watch of this vintage.
