This is a delightful early 19th Century Swiss verge watch, presented in a stunning pearl set gold and enamel full hunter case.

The silver regulator dial boasts of a blue steel indicator, and the white enamel dial has Arabic numerals and gold Breguet hands. The gold full hunter case is the highlight, with its bezels set with two rows of exquisite split pearls. The engine turned centres of both covers are bordered by light blue champleve enamel that adds to the watch's charm. This watch's front cover can be opened by depressing a button in the pendant.
