Vintage watch with Napoleonic embossing

An exceptional Napoleonic embossed pocket watch that impresses with its unique combination of imperial portrait and architectural representation of the "Colonne de la Grande Armée". The medallions are in good condition, with crisp details and a warm bronze tone, while the silver case shows subtle signs of wear that underline the authentic character of the piece. The classically proportioned pocket watch, measuring approximately 5.5 cm in diameter, features Napoleon's profile portrait with the inscription "NAPOLEON EMPEREUR ET ROI" on the front and the imposing Vendôme Column in Paris on the back. This historically significant pocket watch combines French history and fine watchmaking in a unique way and represents a rare opportunity for collectors of Napoleonic memorabilia. Unfortunately the clock does not work and is therefore only for decorative purposes.
