Half Hunter XIX sec. - Orologio da Taschino " half hunter " in Argento 935 e Cassa decorata a SMALTO Guillorchè - - 1850-1900

Rare and Antique Swiss pocket watch dating from the late 19th century (late Victorian or Belle Époque era). This watch is RARE because it stands out for a MOST REFINED artisanal workmanship. The Guilloché enamel is the most precious feature: the outer ring in translucent red-orange. It is decorated with guilloché technique, where a colored enamel layer is applied over a base of silver engraved with repeated undulating geometric motifs, creating a prismatic optical effect that changes with light. It is a Half Hunter with 37mm diameter excluding the crown; the outer case in 935 sterling silver (we are at a very high purity level) features a central window that allows a glimpse of the hands, enabling time to be read at a glance without opening the protective cover. The dial is ceramic with Roman numerals, white and in EXCELLENT condition. The entire case is a spectacle; finely decorated with burin engravings featuring floral and geometric motifs typical of the era’s artistic watchmaking. The watch is in regular working order.
