Antique Digital Silver Pocket Watch c1890’s Sultan Abdul Hamid II Ottoman Empire

I am pleased to offer from my private collection this remarkable and exceptionally rare  historically important Ottoman Empire digital pocket watch, awarded under the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. This fine timepiece exemplifies a unique combination of technical innovation, imperial symbolism, and elegant craftsmanship. Features: • Case Material: Finely crafted in solid silver, with a beautifully engraved floral and shield motif on the reverse. • Dial: • Enamel dial featuring a portrait of Sultan Abdul Hamid II beneath a domed glass. • Ottoman numerals for hour display, shown through a jump-hour aperture (digital style). • Surrounding the dial is a floral enamel border and delicate gilded decorations, adding both elegance and color to the composition. • Movement: • Signed Remontoir Cylindre 6 Rubis, denoting a cylinder escapement movement with 6 jewels. • High-grade mechanical manual wind movement, featuring precision-engineered bridges and gearwork. • Ottoman hallmark stamps are present, further verifying authenticity and state issue. • Maker’s Mark: The inner case is stamped Galonne, along with multiple serial numbers and Ottoman assay marks. Historical Significance: These watches were often commissioned as gifts or awards from the Ottoman court, especially to military officers, diplomats, or high-ranking officials. The portrait of Abdul Hamid II, known as the last great Sultan of the empire, suggests it was made during his reign (1876–1909) as a symbol of loyalty and imperial favor. This is a rare collector’s piece of Ottoman horological heritage, blending the technical ingenuity of European watchmaking with Ottoman imperial identity and symbolism. 46mm PERFECT WORKING ORDER
