EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scarab-shaped hunter-cased pendant watch, created in the 1890s by the Swiss School. Crafted from gold, copper alloys, cut diamonds, rubies, and enamel, this exquisite timepiece is a true testament to the artistry of its era. Measuring at a height of 5 cm, this remarkable piece is housed within the prestigious State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. Its intricate design features stamped and guilloched detailing on its case and a cylindrical movement that ensures precise timekeeping. The image captures the delicate beauty of this unique watch with its chain delicately attached to an insect-inspired pendant. The wings of the scarab are meticulously crafted with stunning attention to detail. The use of precious stones such as diamonds and rubies adds an element of opulence and luxury to this already magnificent creation. Enamelled accents further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of this masterpiece. It serves as both a functional timepiece and an exceptional work of art that seamlessly combines craftsmanship with elegance. As we admire this photograph from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the cultural significance behind such extraordinary creations from Switzerland's horological heritage.
