Gold half hunting cylinder watch
–
A very fine, rare gold enamel pocket watch with ultraflat Bagnolet calibre in a lavishly decorated enamel case, circa 1830.
An 18k gold, polychrome enamel case, eccentric enamel dial, full plate movement, keywind, cylinder escapement, three arm brass balance.
The pocket watch is lavishly chased and ornamented with floral engraving and polychrome enamelling on both sides.
In the bagnolet caliber the movement is inverted and the train reversed. The idea was to make a very thin watch by reducing the thickness of the bridges and the dial and to eliminate the cuvette. Philippe Samuel Meylan is credited with the invention of the bagnolet caliber.
