Polychrome Automaton Repeater
Fine continental 18K gold verge and fusee quarter hour repeater antique pocket watch with
polychrome automaton dial circa 1810.
White enamel dial with central chapter ring and figures painted with period clothing
striking mock bells in time with the repeater mechanism.
Engine turned case with coin milled band, Gilt movement with pierced and engraved

Automaton repeaters with figures in period clothing are scarce and this is a particularly
attractive example.

loud and clear tones.

NOTE: The small circles or shadows in some of our photos
are reflections of the camera lens. Since this watch is much smaller than in the
enlarged photos, a tiny blemish or imperfection that you could not see when looking
at the actual watch can appear very large in the photos.
