Lot Essay

Preserved in like new condition the present timepiece is a testimony to Professor Engel's watchmaking skills. It features a regulator-style dial whereby the hours, minutes and seconds are displayed separately in the manner of a precision clock, as well as the days of the week and moon phases, all strongly influenced by the style of the legendary Abraham Louis Breguet.
