EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of horological history - a minute repeating full calendar keyless lever watch with moon phases, housed in an exquisite hunter case made of 18k gold. Crafted around 1900 by the esteemed makers Pouldjian, Djezvedjian & Arabian from Constantinople, this timepiece is truly a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. The watch features a nickel-finished lever movement with 30 jewels and a bimetallic compensation balance. Its minute repeater function chimes on two steel hammers onto two gongs, adding both visual and auditory delight to its already impressive design. The dial boasts intricate gilt matte detailing, adorned with outer and central raised yellow and white gold floral decorations along with Turkish numerals. Four sunk subsidiary dials elegantly display the month, day, date, constant seconds, and lunar calendar alongside the mesmerizing moon phases indicator. The heavy engine-turned circular case is embellished with engraved floral and scroll decorations surrounding a blank shield-shaped cartouche at the front. With its impeccable artistry and mechanical precision, this Ottoman-era timekeeping treasure stands as a testament to the rich heritage of watchmaking. A true collector's item held within private hands but now immortalized through this stunning photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for all horology enthusiasts to admire.
