Pocket watch: extremely rare and technically highly interesting heavy astronomical splendour hunting case watch with perpetual calendar and seconde morte, Geneva top quality, J.M. Badollet & Co. No.61159, probably for the Indian market, ca. 1870

Ø57.5mm, ca. 190g, 18K gold, extremely elaborately engraved splendour hunting case watch, typical for the Indian market, hunting case à-goutte, case number 61159, signed and numbered dome, dome with inscribed movement quality, perpetual calendar, independent seconds, moon phase, signed precision lever movement of greatest rarity, all wheels in gold, tandem winding in manner of Mairet, lever movement with special lever, enamel dial, perpetual calendar, moon phase, stoppable independent jumping seconds, dial with 2 small hairlines between the subsidiary dials, overall in very good condition, in working order. The watch is a Geneva top quality. From a technical point of view the combination of perpetual calendar, moon phase and seconde morte is one of the rarest complications. Only a few manufacturers, such as Louis Audemars or even Badollet, have made such excellent movements. According to the preferences of the Indian customers, the cases were either enamelled, set with stones or engraved as elaborately as here. A comparable piece was on the auction: "Exceptional Horological Works of Art" Geneve 2002 (source: https://www.cortrie.de/go/227). Most of these watches were made by Hri. Grandjean & Cie from Le Locle and delivered to India.
