AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pocket watch dial with perpetual calendar from the late 19th to early 20th century, in a classic/Art Nouveau style, by Moricand et Compagnie, a French quality manufacturer active in the second half of the 1800s, known for pocket watches with complications, well-made movements, enamel dials signed. It represents an example of haute horlogerie with complex complications such as the perpetual calendar, which indicates the date, day of the week, and month. Such watches were a status symbol for the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy of the era and attest to the technological advancement in the measurement of time. I can't say whether the mechanism is functioning because I’m not an expert.
