Condition:
Albert in generally good order. Each link is marked but most are quite rubbed. A few tiny chips around the edge of the bloodstone. Pocket watch- Three large hairline cracks and one small hairline crack to the dial and a small area of restoration between the 7 and 8 at the dial edge. Mark left on dial by subsidiary seconds hand. Minor surface scratches to the cased back front and sides, commensurate with age and some use. Slight ding to the case back. Watch ticks but then stops, so in need of attention. The repeater strikes but not fluently and sometimes stop mid chime, so also in need of further attention. Chip to the bulls eye glass aperture.
