A rarity is this, one of the earliest known, numbered pocket watch minute repeater with three hammers and a visible striking train made by Bausse in Paris, France, circa 1810. The open faced case of this watch was crafted from 18 carat pink gold, has a reeded band and is engine turned on the back which also has a central monogram. The white enamel dial has an inner ring with black Arabic hour numerals, outer minute divisions and Breguet hands. The very rare full plate movement with visible striking train has a cylinder escapement, repeating the hours, quarter hours and minutes.

Most minute repeaters from that time were made by Breguet and Lépine. This piece is probably also with a Lépine caliber.
