Rare Antique Masonic Hebdomas 8-Day Pocket Watch – Sterling Silver (1910)

Up for auction is a truly unique piece of horological history: an antique Hebdomas 8-Day pocket watch featuring a custom hand-painted Masonic dial and a hallmarked sterling silver case.

Hebdomas is world-renowned for their “8-day” movements, utilizing an oversized mainspring barrel that allows the watch to run for a full week on a single wind. This specific example is a “double-complication” of sorts—combining a high-grade Swiss movement with rich Freemasonry iconography.
