Watch and key

Gold and blue enamel dumb repeating verge watch No.902 by Hoguet of Paris, with its key. The back is decorated in blue and white enamel and gold, with some detail painted in gold grisaille: an outer wreath of twisted acanthus encloses an engine-turned ground beneath blue enamel, showing in gold grisaille the figure of a putto loosing an arrow, surrounded by rose sprays, bell-flower swags, leafy scrolls and two torches, all in gold, the flames of the two torches in gold grisaille. The front shows a convex glass within the same frame of twisted acanthus.
