Pocket watch, quarter-repeater with two striking Jacks, automaton concealed erotic scene; 18K yellow gold and multicoloured gold

18K yellow gold, open-face, key-winding, round-shaped, pocket watch, with one horological complication:

· Quarter-repeater on two steel gongs (activated by depressing the pendant)

The chiselled varicoloured gold scene shows two Jacquemarts (Jacks), “Les Bons Sauvages”, striking the elapsed time. The woman, on the left, strikes the hours and the first shot of the quarters while the man, on the right, strikes the second shot of the quarters, and, below, a goat moves its mouth; all animated by the repeating mechanism. Under this scene set at six o’clock, there is a second concealed automaton erotic scene (discovered and activated by the push-piece at 6 o’clock) showing a couple making love.

Case-back guilloché (engine-turned). with a medallion at 6. Gilded metal cuvette (dome).

Movement 21’’’, gilded brass, with fusee and chain, verge escapement, monometallic balance (gilded brass) and blued steel flat hairspring, pierced and engraved gilded continental cock; repeater work on the main plate, under the dial.
