According to Marco Richon‘s reference work "Omega", only two examples of this complex and high-value pendant watch were ever made. A very similar timepiece, of which four copies exist, is reference 1091 and resides at the Musée International d'Horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Both watches belong to the company’s "Kreation" genre.
This rare curved model has an 18 K gold case with engraved and enamelled multi-colour gloral elements. The matted gold dial is ornamented with a central enamel flower wreath and a small second. The watch features enamel Arabic hours and railway minute track.
The watch is illustrated and described in: "Omega" by Marco Richon, Biel 2007, page 684.
