Diving in the JLC Vintage World leads you to discover exceptional pieces.

The number of Pocket watches is incredible.

Some of them are pure marvels, refinement. A few add something, humour, audace, well... Have a look on this one.

At first glance, this is a very nice Pocket Watch, with a fine decoration of the case, sculptured:

 


Then, a classic dial, with very nice hands. Elegant.


The movement is very pleasant to look at, no... To admire. The reflection of the movement is so sensual!


But wait, this is not all. Something you will never see, unless you ask to the Conservator of the Heritage Gallery.

 

These are automatons!

And this decorum doesn't have to make us forget that this Pocket Watch is a minute repeater!

To be complete, this Watch was made circa 1892, and the movement is the Cal 1920 RVS.

Best,

Nicolas

A simply beautiful watch....

.... And reminiscent of pieces by Svend Andersen. Hybris Erotica. I love that name. - Scott

In this case, I think the anteriority goes to the VallΓ©e de Joux. ;) [nt]
