Jacquemart figure automatons with three or more figure sequences are extremely rare. This piece, with an additional hidden erotic automaton, which is in contrast to the engraving on the back, belongs to the rarest Jacquemart automaton watches. There probably are only two more pieces with a carillon, four automata and a hidden erotic scene on the back.
