Pocket watch: Rarity, Barillet type music watch, probably Geneva around 1820
Lot 4267
Sold

Description

Approx. 55mm diameter, approx. 106g, 18K red gold, No. 1951, extremely rare musical work with roller (barillet), cylinder inhibition, quarter-hour repetition and music, automatically at full hour or on request, particularly beautiful gold dial, 2-color enamelled, Breguet steel pointer, walkable and technically intact, housing with small printing points. So-called Barillet-Type music watches are sensationally rare and completely different from the usual music watches of this time. The musical work is designed completely differently, as it is a high-quality roller mill that was unsuitable for pocket watches due to its thickness and was mainly used in enamel ledoes. Only a few pocket watches with such a musical work are known and are highly sought after collectors' objects (https://www.cortrie.de/go/wVY).
