(updated with descriptions by Patek) Hi 👋 All, Virtual GTG with THE enamel queen Anita Porchet to understand her unique pocket watch for
2025 W&W ( ref 995/125G-001 ) ! What an amazing watch given the descriptions below. Your self-proclaimed enamel addict/slave needed to learn more and asked Anita for her valuable time which she kindly gave me. 10 years ago, Anita challenged her engraver f...
Thank you, Gordon, for this very interesting post and for sharing with us Anita Porchet's precious and unique insight.
I wasn't aware of this pocket watch and find the blending of engraving and enameling impressive. I have found on Hodinkee these photos of the watch, which show it front and back and from a larger view. Thank you again and warmest congratulations to Anita ...
Thanks Emmanuel for your kind comments and adding
more photos of this AMAZING watch ! My real pleasure to poison ☠️ you on Anita Porchet’s art pieces 🤣
Thanks Gordon for this very interesting and illuminating post. Anita Porchet is an extraordinarily talented artist. Both the tiger and jaguar are supremely beautiful.
To compare and contrast the two in a meaningful way I would have to see them in person or see much larger images with extremely high resolution.
Hi Patekova, Yes, both pieces are
EXCEPTIONAL ! To me, Anita Porchet might be more exceptional because I have met her in person and online quite a few times and she is humble and friendly 👍 Being allocated the Jaguar 🐆 would be an item on my bucket🪣 list !
Amazing interaction with the Queen
Am I correct in understanding that the jaguar is not made with cloisonne hence the border for the enamel/colors are defined by the engraving rather than the typical golden wires? 😮
Yes, no gold wire like cloisonné so
it is miniature painting + engraving to outline the Jaquar and other items!
Very impressive
Wonderful artistry!! Unbelievable details and almost 3D like details. As an enamel dial this will last forever…Modern art for the ages!!
Thanks Gordon for the write-up.
An very interesting story and always learn something new from your posts.
Enamelling is unfortunately a dying art
but Anita Porchet is an artist beyond compare. To enamel so intricately on such a small space is mind boggling. Some will say Suzanne Rohr was the greatest of all time but I will put Anita up there with her. It is just a pity that only the very wealthy an...
Many Sham thanks for your thoughtful comments !👍
Patek has been keeping this dying art alive and thriving !💪
Indeed they have!
I am actually more excited these days to see their new handicrafts rather than their regular novelties!

Always looking forward to your posts G!
Everyone knows about G's absolute passion for enamel and the fine work of Anita Porchet. It's amazing how she can do such fine work on such a tiny surface. And explanations like what G has provided always makes the piece much more meaningful, and makes fo...
Thanks traineract for your kind words !
Anita is a true artist who just want to push her limits continously !
