Agassiz Minute Repeater Split Secon Chronograph 14K SOLID GOLD Presentation to World Champion Marksm

Lot #1 (Sale Order 1 of 215)

In 1909, Sgt. A. M. Blackburn won the Prince of Wales Cup at Bisley, winning 11 firsts. The City of Winnipeg awarded this trophy watch at that time. Beautifully engraved with the Arms of the City, this spectacular Agassiz Repeater/Chronograph must have been among the finest watches in Canada in its day. Marked 14K case, repeater slide functions smoothly. The watch needs to be serviced and the two chronograph chapter hands are missing. In Shugart, this is a $10,000 watch when restored. Lever set, which functions perfectly. Obviously this watch will need to be serviced by a specialist, but what a trophy it will be when restored to its former glory. A masterpiece of the watchmaker's art.
