COLLECTOR’S NOTES:

THIS UNSIGNED ENAMEL DIAL SHOWCASES THE DISTINCTIVE DECORATIVE STYLING THAT EMERGED DURING THE FINAL DECADES OF THE 19TH CENTURY. THE SHARPLY TAPERED ARABIC NUMERALS, DELICATE OUTER TRACK, AND CLEAN OPEN CENTER CREATE A HIGHLY ELEGANT COMPOSITION REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ART NOUVEAU INFLUENCE FOUND IN FINE EUROPEAN WATCHMAKING OF THE ERA.

DIALS OF THIS STYLE WERE OFTEN PRODUCED FOR PRIVATE RETAILERS, JEWELERS, AND SMALL WATCHMAKERS THROUGHOUT SWITZERLAND AND CONTINENTAL EUROPE. TODAY THEY ARE APPRECIATED FOR THEIR UNIQUE TYPOGRAPHY, HANDCRAFTED ENAMEL CONSTRUCTION, AND CONNECTION TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF POCKET WATCH PRODUCTION.

THE SURVIVING ORIGINAL ENAMEL, BEAUTIFUL PERIOD DESIGN, AND GENUINE AGE-RELATED CHARACTER MAKE THIS A DESIRABLE ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE HOROLOGICAL COMPONENTS.
