Beyond functionality, repeater pocket watches were often adorned with luxurious materials and intricate details that showcase the skill and artistry of the watchmakers who created them. From ornate cases to intricate movements, these watches are true objects of beauty that offer a glimpse into the past and the craftsmanship that once defined watchmaking.
