A Renaissance style gold pendant 'form watch A Renaissance style gold pendant 'form watch' Bearing signature for Denis Bordier, Geneva, probably mid 19th century The shaped gilt full plate single fusee verge movement with four double baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, asymmetric tulip pierced and engraved balance cock and conforming infill around the mainspring set-up ratchet opposing engraved text Denis Bordier to lower margin, the scallop-shaped gilt dial with single steel hand to the symmetrical foliate scroll engraved centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with asterisk half hour markers within a fine foliate scroll chased oval surround incorporating equestrian figure to upper margin, the three-piece case cast and chased in the form of a stylised floral bud with integral suspension loop, (movement with losses including escapement, balance arbor and greatwheel), the movement pillar plate 35mm (1.625ins) by 25mm (1ins), the watch 53mm (2.125ins) high to top of suspension post. The movement of the current lot is interesting in that it essentially appears technologically faithful to mid 17th century practice with authentic looking small asymmetric foliate pierced balance cock and steel spring set-up ratchet and pawl to the backplate. However, on closer examination, the distance between the plates coupled with the design of the slender double-baluster pillars and the relative crudeness of the fusee cone would suggest that this watch is a 19th century 'revival' piece. The signature again appears to resemble 17th century practice however is perhaps a little light in its execution. This lightness in detail is also reflected in the dial surround which incorporates open scrolls more akin to 18th century rococo practice than 17th century Arabesque designs. From this it can be concluded that the present watch was made as a 'historic' revival piece which became fashionable from the mid 19th century onwards. Indeed a 19th century 'reproduction' silver oval watch bearing a signature for Denis Bordier was sold at Christies, New York IMPORTANT WATCHES INCLUDING THE LEO COLLECTION on Wednesday 16th June 2010, (lot 308) for $2,750.
A fine Renaissance style gilt brass and pierced ivory pendant watch Unsigned A fine Renaissance style gilt brass and pierced ivory pendant watch Unsigned, probably English, mid 19th century The oval full plate single fusee verge movement with four faceted baluster pillars pinned through the backplate applied with fine gilt eagle-head inhabited asymmetric floral scroll pierced and engraved balance cock and conforming mainspring barrel set-up ratchet guard, the fine engraved gilt brass dial with steel hand and centre decorated with asymmetric leafy sprays within applied Roman numeral chapter ring and conforming fine foliate scroll chased oval surround incorporating an urn to lower margin, the two-piece oval ivory case with gilt brass dust cover insert for the movement and profusely pierced throughout with intense foliate scrollwork incorporating armorial crest within moulded oval surround to verso, with gold hinge and suspension loop to top and hook clasp to base (movement incomplete including balance and staff, fusee cone now substituted for a cylinder), the movement pillar plate 40mm (1.5ins) by 33mm (1.25ins), the watch 58mm (2.25ins) high to top of suspension post; with original leather covered outer case decorated with pique work monogram surmounted by a coronet within studded border to front cover 61mm (2.625ins) high. The current lot was made in the 'Renaissance revival' style which became fashionable during the mid 19th century. The fine pierced ivory case was clearly purpose made to incorporate a family crest, this would suggest that the watch was probably a special commission possibly for presentation to the original owner whose monogram appears on the outer cover.
