Reasons to Bid
This Frederic Sagne grande and petite sonnerie pocket watch offers a rare chance to acquire a complication that stands among the most prestigious achievements in traditional watchmaking. Crafted in 18k rose gold, it represents the height of mechanical artistry from an era when every component of a striking mechanism was shaped, tuned, and finished by hand. The watch combines both grande and petite sonnerie functions, allowing it to chime the time automatically at each quarter, as well as a minute-repeating mechanism activated on demand, making it one of the most complex and desirable configurations in the world of chiming watches. Its elegant enamel dial with Roman numerals and subsidiary seconds reinforces its classical character, while the case, fitted with selectors for the striking modes, reflects the thoughtful engineering needed to house such a sophisticated mechanism. Pocket watches of this type were produced in very small numbers and required exceptional skill, placing this example firmly in the realm of collectible antique haute horlogerie.
