This is a particularly beautiful example, set with Oriental pearls. The watch is also very interesting from a technical point of view, as it has a decentralized time display with an additional seconds display. Comparable watches are known from Antoine Moilliet & Cie, who specialised in producing fancy watches in Geneva from ca. 1790 to ca. 1810.
