Please help me to identify and evaluate this pocket watch.
This watch could be made for the Turkish market regarding the right upper dial with the Ottoman hourmarkers.
It is a nice looking watch. I have never seen a watch like this one. I think it's a rare piece.
I agree with tempusfigit that the Turkish market was part of the manufactures intentions. Here is a key-wind I posted that I was told was for the Turkish market. The dial is like the upper right dial on yours.

Great dial. The Courvoisier's were a watchmaking family from Switzerland and London. Your watch looks Swiss-made. They were known for their high-end watches. This is a site where you can look at an example. http://www.bogoff.com/pocket/5963.html
