Ring watches
These rare ring watches were made in Geneva as novel and intriguing toys for the rich and the aristocracy. What today would be considered a feminine object would have been perfectly acceptable for a man to... wear during the period it was made; this is further highlighted by the large size of the ring shank. In the early 19th century a ring watch such as this would have been hugely expensive and regarded as a mechanical marvel in miniature.

Patry & Chaudoir
Alexander Patry is recorded as master watchmaker in Geneve in 1780.
He was formed a partnership with Chaudoir in Geneve from 1791-1795.
After 1798 Patry was associated with watchmaker Chenevierce.

Condition
Movement is in average condition.
It runs some period of time, but easily stops.
However, it runs in any position and at least you know that all parts are there and nothing is broken.
Cleaning / servicing is recommended.

The case is in ok condition, it's unsigned and lack the hallmarks (typically for Swiss production).
Tested for 18k gold.
Dial is in quite ok condition, with some imperfections.

Watch comes with key, what is important as it hard to find matching one.
Please see photos and video before bidding.

I don't end the auctions early - high bidder will get an item.
Shipping from France worldwide.
