A beautiful eighteenth century pocket watch is going on sale at a specialist wrist and pocket watches auction later this month.

It is one of the highlights of 472 items being sold by auctioneers Fellows and Sons in Birmingham, England, on Monday 22 October, starting at 11am.

Stephen Whittaker, managing partner at Fellows and Sons, said: "This is a gorgeous watch that any collector would be delighted to own. It is extremely well made and has a unique design."

The pocket watch has an under painted horn and gilt metal pair case, with studded tortoiseshell bezel painted with a fern design.

The under painted horn depicts a Masonic all-seeing eye above a scene of a woman holding a baby. She has two children at her feet and is flanked by two further females in classical dress.

A key is needed to wind the watch. It has a white dial, black Roman numerals and has been signed by the maker, William Collett of Uxbridge.

The movement is Verge Fusee with baluster pillars.

Experts have valued the watch at between £500 and £600.
