Beautiful and rare slim 18K gold, diamond, pearl and painted enamel nested bell
quarter repeater by Philippe Terrot circa 1790.
The case with pearl bezels, the front spring hinged, the back with a painted enamel
scene enriched with gold and diamond decorations. The back has been restored
with hard fired enamel.
White enamel dial with gold hands and minor edge chip at the winding hole.
Unusual slim crescent shaped cylinder movement with two bells, one underneath
the other for the chime. When activated by depressing the pendant, this watch
chimes the time using different chime tones to designate the hours and quarter hours.
