Truly gorgeous, thanks for these powerful closeups!
I just took a look, it actually seems a fairly "enamel-rich" auction with two unique dome clocks and a 5131 as well. Personally I'm not very tempted by auctions, though the 5076s normally fetch way below the lines currently in production (e.g., 5077 or 5089), so with some luck one might even eke out a good deal... ;-)

Saw these at an auction viewing and I was...
...blown away by the excellent enamel dial ! Previously I knew about the Chinese Zodiac series which ended in 2013 with Year of the Snake and saw some enamel pieces. Motifs for monkey, ox, dog, dragon and horse did not sing to me but the tiger did the tri...
I saw these too Gordon
and was wondering how long it would be before you would write a thread on it! So, are you tempted??!!
well, it will truly be a nightmare if I buy the tiger(s) because my...
tigress at home will eat me alive ! :-(
Thank goodness I do not have a tigress at home
because I would not be able to afford to feed her let alone sacrifice my passion to make her happy. Saying that, the search goes on for a Malaysian tigress, perhaps a tiger cub!
Nooooo!!!!
Too old for a tiger cub my friend and I would have to sell my watches to afford one! And between a tiger cub and my watches, there would be no contest!!! Always the watches
Very nice indeed!
I still like yours more, as the deeper and more reserved colors is more "Old World" style enamel than the brighter "New World" style enamel. But I do like this bright tiger version very much too!
Yes Raymond , the tigers are calling me and I am so tempted, but the...
Rousseau lion will pounce on me if I make a move ! Also, the tigress at home will pounce on me as well !

Hi Fab, you are most welcome ! The dome clocks are great as well, but the ...
tigers stole my heart !
Agree, dome clocks are wonderful pieces of art but I prefer (wrist)watches too, which combine art and mechanics at their finest (plus, you can wear them! :-)
And those tigers are indeed *very* fine! Cheers.
Amazing, thank you.
I prefer the jumping Tiger to the standing one as it pulls your eyes in towards the image more, if that makes sense. But I like the standing tiger symmetry with the PP at the twelve o clock position. Not sure what the rules say on price. Can you private m...
Hi Christian, if you are hooked then you will...
eventually get one or two, right ? When will we have a GTG in Hong Kong ?
Oh, definitely hooked dear Gordon
An enamel piece is very high on my wishlist. I’m hoping to be in HK in April. I will write you once the plan is set. We definitely must make a GTG 😄 Cheers my friend Christian
