Gold and Enamel Equestrian Themed Wrist Watch

This wonderful and unique wristwatch was a custom creation. It was a collaboration by Marcus & Co. luxury jewelry retailer of New York and esteemed Swiss watchmaker C. H. Meylan. Beautifully crafted of 18K yellow gold, all the decorative pieces on this special wristwatch were handmade and fashioned as items of equestrian tack.  Keeping the time is a high-grade 17-jewel manual wind movement signed C.H. Meylan, Brassus, and numbered 1130. The time is displayed on a silvered dial by Stern Frères and is appointed with applied gold numerals and hands.

The inscription on the back plate testifies to the creation and provenance of this timepiece for the lady of a prominent Massachusetts family, a serious equestrian. The enameled buttons feature two of the artist’s favorite horses. This special watch is in excellent condition overall and has undergone a complete restoration, accompanied by an 18-month warranty. The cord band is 7 inches and can be adjusted for a custom fit.
