This watch is based on a slim and elegant pocket watch made in Switzerland around 1820; the original watch features a distinctive orbiting circle design and multiple textures.
Swiss watches have enjoyed a reputation for quality for centuries. In 1685, large numbers of French Protestant (Huguenot) artisans were driven out of France by the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Among them were watchmakers and enamelers, many of whom relocated to Geneva, Switzerland, which benefited from this influx and flourished as a center of watchmaking and watchcase enameling.
