This filigree pocket watch features the traditional hours off-centre on the front, a polychrome enamel painting of a man in a turban and caftan and a young lady in a low-cut contemporary dress on the shore of an ocean on the lower edge; it offers a beautiful contrast to the enamel dial with days of the week and date on the back.
