This timepiece is a very rare and nicely crafted pendant watch designed by Ferdinand Paillet. Finished with double-sided enamel panels and signed on the exterior of the case by the artist. The enamel scenes are carefully hand painted to display different hues of blues and greens portraying a neoclassical scene of angels and putti playing music and sitting by one another in a heavenly scene. On the reverse, the dial also displays intricate enamelling of two women with a bow and arrow on either side of the dial to reveal the time in the centre. The timepiece is further enhanced by pearls, very reminiscent of Paillet’s work.

Fernand Paillet (1840-1918), a pupil of Carrier-Belleuse, was a renowned enamellist, mastering the fine art of painted enamel miniatures on enamel and porcelain. Paillet’s craftsmanship allowed him to create works of art which would set the foundation for some of the earliest creative designs transitioning into the Art Nouveau style.
