EPW - Swiss, mvt and dial marked to retailer Charles Wendell of Chicago, Illinois, 54mm, massive 18K gold original "S.A.W." HC, gold cuvette, glazed observation cover over mvt, white enamel SS dial, SW-shift-locking-LS, fully capped lever escapement with counterpoise, 20-21J, Wilmot's patent regulator, fausses-côtes pattern nickel damascene, s#8452 with matching serial number within case. Gross weight of assembled watch 103.4 dwt (160.9 g). Given the plate layout of this movement and the presence of Wilmot's patent regulator, we believe this watch is likely a product of the Tiffany factory of Geneva.
