Hello Codey,
Thank you for sending in this pocket watch to mearto.com for an appraisal. I shall try to help you with that tonight.
TITLE:
Gent’s, silvered metal, pendant wound and pendant or lever set, open face pocket/pendant watch, unsigned by the maker, and engraved with the name of the owner, “None Buckiley, Feb 26 1900”, made in Switzerland, circa 1900-1902.
DESCRIPTION:
Case: Size not provided, but appears to be a small size pocket or pendant watch, three leaf, silvered metal (Sterling down to coin silver), round, open face pocket/pendant watch with a broad polished silvered bezel and a fluted coin type winding pendant with an oval bow placed at the twelve position relative to the dial. The glass crystal over the dial is missing. The back of the case cover is engraved, “None Buckiley, Feb 26 1900”. The inside of the case is not shown.
Dial: Small round white enameled dial with Roman hours, closed minute track, black enameled circle inside the hours, steel Antique Breguet style hands and the dial is unsigned.
Movement: Not shown, but my guess would be that it is a Swiss made bridge-plate movement with a half plate having exposed ratchet and crown wheels, a curved center wheel bridge and one or two small straight and parallel finger bridges. The index regulator would be typically in the Swiss style and there would be a bimetallic balance wheel and hairspring. Most likely the movement would be unsigned. Such watches with broad bezels around the dial often were made with small round movements, smaller than expected for the width of the watch.
(In 1900 and during the last quarter of the 19th century the Swiss watch business was under significant strain from the production of factory produced American pocket watches. In 1870 the Swiss sent representatives to the USA trying to learn the factory mass-production methods to keep up with production in America. Therefore, part of the process was exporting watches to America that had no names on them to indicate their Swiss origin, and hoping that Americans would buy these watches thinking they were American made.)
CONDITION:
Case – In good condition. Superficial scratches on the case with some scuffs.
Dial – very good and hopefully there are no hairline fractures of the enameled dial.
Movement – Assumed original to this case, genuine and fully functional.
Overall – excellent.

PRICING:
I am going to assume that the case metal is some quality of silver which ranges from Sterling (0.925%) down to 0.800% which is less than coin silver. Being unsigned, and apparently quite small, this is a pocket or pendant watch (for the ladies) that would have a fair market value, if offered today at auction, in the range of $80-$120, in working condition, with new crystal and polished case. Retail values would be about twice that amount. I wish I could have seen more of the watch but I think this is the right ball park price-wise for what I see here.
Thank you for using mearto.com for this appraisal.
My best,

Hello Codey,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a couple of images of what is on the inside of the case. Usually there are markings on the inside of the back cover and it would be great if you could open the pocket watch and show me a photo of the movement.
Let me know if you are able to do this?
Thanks,
David
