Silver and enamel repeating verge watch
–
A French historically interesting double sided silver and enamel verge pocket watch, with a quarter repeater, circa 1790.
The back is decorated with an enamel miniature under glass showing a siege by French soldiers, while a scribe in a tower records the scene in his book: VROM(bissement) DE LA SAINTE TRINITÉ, loosely translated: the commotion at the church of Sainte-Trinité. The church is located in the town of Autry-Issards near Clermont-Ferrand; also in the vicinity is Puy, where the watchmaker lived. The dial is decorated with the painting of a monument with a vase at the side of a river, the castle visible in the background is probably the Chateau Lavoute Polignac near Le Puy.
Silver polychrome enamel case, glass, case maker’s punch mark AP. White enamel decorated dial signed Benoit Thomas Fils au Puy. Full plate movement, chain/fusee, two hammers, three arm brass balance, signed Thomas Fils au Puy.
