Early 19th Century Gold Verge Pocket Watch with Bell-Striking Jacquemart Automaton
Early 19th Century Gold Verge Pocket Watch with Bell-Striking Jacquemart Automaton
An early 19th-century gold verge pocket watch featuring a bell-striking Jacquemart automaton, with elaborate gilt relief decoration and animated figures activated during striking.
This finely crafted gold spindle (verge) pocket watch dates to the early 19th century and features an animated Jacquemart automaton mechanism. The watch is fitted with a bell-striking system activated during operation, with automaton figures striking bells in motion.
The dial is richly decorated with applied gilt relief figures arranged around the central chapter ring, including classical motifs and figural scenes. The movement is housed in a gold case with a hinged cover, revealing a finely engraved gilt movement with pierced balance cock and traditional verge escapement.
Such automaton watches were luxury objects produced for elite patrons and collectors, combining horological complexity with decorative artistry. Jacquemart automata were especially prized for their mechanical animation synchronized with timekeeping functions.
