A beautifully designed and crafted Hebdomas 8 Day pocketwatch in a lovely ornate gold plated case with fancy multi-colored dial for Limit of Switzerland in superb cosmetic condition throughout. It is not running as the mainspring is missing as well as the center screw down axle which holds on the large mainspring barrel is broken. The axle screw plate is present, but the axle will need to be replaced. I believe that if you have, or can find the parts this should be an easy fix. The case is gold plated and measures 50mm in diameter excluding the stem and ornate bow. The dial is also beautifully designed with bright enamel colors and in near mint condition with no hairlines or chips. See description for more details.
