Perseo 17108 Squelette/Pocket Watch

Perseo is a national brand known to all Italians. It is also the official supplier of railway watches to the Italian State Railways (FS).

Perseo brand watches are designed to be robust and accurate, and to be "watch-like."

This pocket watch is pleasing to the eye with its pattern on the case cover and skeleton dial.

A gorgeous face cover engraved with patterns such as stripes and flowers, and frames.

The back also has a detailed pattern engraved on it.

"Perseo" is an Italian word derived from Perseus, a hero in Greek and Roman mythology.

Perseo was founded around 1861 or 1871 and was originally the sole Italian distributor of the Swiss watch company Cortebert Watch Company. However, Perseo invested in Cortebert, so it was not just a sole distributor but also a shareholder of Cortebert.

In 1927, Perseo was selected as the official supplier of railway clocks for the Italian State Railways. Even now, nearly 100 years later, Perseo continues to supply railway clocks with official certification from the Italian State Railways.

Perseo is one of the few watch companies in the world that produces officially certified railway watches, and there is no other company in the world that has been producing railway watches for nearly 100 years like Perseo.

Just as in the past, Perseo is still the "Italian watch" for Italians.

The silver-colored case and dial, along with the thin Roman numerals, give it a stylish look.

The back of the watch is also skeletonized, allowing you to see the movement of the balance wheel and gears, the heart of the watch.

It also comes with a dedicated chain. Once you receive your pocket watch, you can take it with you on your outings right away. (The chain design may change.)

The case is made of Zamac 5 (zinc alloy 5), the most widely used zinc alloy in Europe, known for its high strength, ease of processing, and suitability for plating.
